It is estimated that approximately 35% of women worldwide have experienced sexual harassment in their lifetime. In most countries with data available on rape, less than 40% of women who experience sexual violence seek help. Less than 10% seek assistance from law enforcement.

Because many women who experience sexual violence seldom report or come forward about their incidences, exact rape numbers are challenging to report. 

Every year over 50% of women get raped by their relative, pastors, teachers, friends, or armed robbers but the cooperate end up being bailed out of jail or pay their way out. Most at times, the women are blamed for being the cause of being raped. So the question here is "Is it the fault of the women being raped? "
