Life, Liberty, and the Sexual Exploitation of Women
Abstract
To study the attitudes surrounding, prevalence and effect
of rape in our society today I worked at the Rape Crisis
Center in Washington, DC. There I was able to gain relevant
experience to supplement my research on the topic. I was also
able to verify several theories about rape and violence
against women.
This experience gave me the opportunity to explore some
of the questions I had about sexual assault, and to test
whether the literature about rape was out-dated.
Unfortunately, many of the myths surrounding the experience
of sexual assault are alive and well in the minds of both men
and women. If you are not a current K College student, faculty, or staff member, email dspace@kzoo.edu to request access to this SIP.
