https://www.rainn.org/statistics/victims-sexual-violenceThe first statement I will say is that, the concern over National Rape Day is problematic. Why is it problematic?
The concern over it, first of all, has turned away people's attention from any sexual violence that has already been happening the days between the announcement of its existence, and today.
Any rape/sexual violence that will happen on that 1 day is only ever going to get noticed, when it probably will have similar statistics to the day before. This has already happened before. Similar events tend to be repeated.
The concern over it did offend me a bit because, after all these years of daily disgusting cases, kids finally take it seriously because of this false rumour? How ironic is that?
There was no evidence that it was happening anyway, until this person on Tiktok began to warn people about this National Rape Day. Why did no one have suspicions on her in the first place? Moral high ground? No one has SEEN the root of this as well, which is suspicious.
So sure, warn people all you want. Tell people to be afraid. But I hate the fact that rape/sexual violence is genuinely ignored all this entire month for this 1 day.
