Just tell me how many words you want from that story and I’ll edit accordingly. Also, be careful to alway cite your references properly (you can have a resource page at the end where you put all the websites’ ulrs and a short description)
And think about connecting people with local resources, like the planed parenthood, a phone help line, etc.

here are my notes, they are from a legal point of view and very technical, so if you want more explanations, don’t be afraid to ask (I threw sexual harrasment in, as good measure, because it also is an issue on which there is a lot of disinformation.)

Rape

Rape myths: 
-sexual assault is common
-it is commited by strangers,
-women ask for it by the way they dress
-women derive pleasure from being a victim
-women lie about sexual assault
-it is dangerous to be alone in dark places.

Rape trauma syndrome:
acute phase: fear, anxiety, depression
-long term phase: phobias
-PTSD

3/4 rapes are commited by people they know.
Date rapes happen on week ends nights
assailant and victims use alcohol and drugs
typically not involving a weapon, but verbal threats.

Rapex: spiked women condom to prevent rape, used in african countries where rape is used as a war weapon

Expert testimony on rape are not always allowed because rape trauma syndrome has psychological symptoms that are common to other syndromes.

Spousal rape was not viewed as rape until 1980. also, force or threat must be proven.

Historical rape laws: 
-blames the victim
-need resistance

Defense that sex was consensual, attacks to the victim’s reputation and lifestyle to make then look responsible for what happened.

Rape law now focuses on: behavior of assailant.

Rape shield law protects privacy of the victims sexual history. The only history that can be discussed is the one between the victim and the assailant.

prosecution attorney does not want the victim to elaborate during questioning from the defense. Answer the question and nothing else not to open other questions about the victim’s life.

Treatment of rapists: psychosurgery, surgical/chemical castration. 

Sexual harassment: unwanted sexual advances.

-quid pro quo: sexual demands in exchange for employment benefits.
 if that happens, get a paper trail (get them to put it in writing, report to management) if you get fired, get a witness and file a lawsuit.

-hostile workplace harassment: gender harassment (sexist jokes), unwanted sexual attention.
