So I was talking to my friend (who will also hopefully be attending I-day) and a subject came up in conversation. At first, I didn't think to much of it. But it came up a few more times since then, almost as a joke. But each time it does come up, it seems a lot less funny.
Rape.
The statistics aren't pretty, and they've shown up all over the place. I could post a hundred other such links.
Example: http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=123748
12% rape rate? Even if it is half of the civilian college's rate, that's still pretty scary, considering the caliber of people who are supposed to be studying at this fine institution.
So for my friend, and any other males/females whom this may concern, does anyone have any advice? Any information that may be of practical use to anyone who might know someone who was involved? With it being one in eight (roughly) who are raped I think it would be impossible to avoid not knowing someone.
Is there anything someone can do to prevent this or mitigate risk?
