ABOUT THAT IMAGE...

You also probably came here because you want to know more about the data presented and if it is true, etc. etc.  Before you start reading, I want to let you know this website, as it is now, did not exist until March 21st, 2013 when I chose to try and figure out the source of the image and its veracity.

FEAR.US 2.0 BLOG

Updates on the site, including new info about the image and history. News and opinions on sexual assault, rape culture, prevention, evaluation of statistics, etc.

NEW WEBSITE - With statistics, links, & more

Offering statistics is a tricky thing.  However, I discovered some statistics based on research done by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics that are a lot more reliable then what is presented in the original FearUs.org's image...
BETTER STATISTICS AND STUDIES

From Bureau of Justice Statistics during 2005-10:
  • 78% of sexual violence involved an offender who was a family member, intimate partner, friend or acquaintance
  • 58% of female victims of sexual violence suffered a physical injury
  • 23% rape or sexual assault victims received help or advice from a victim service agency

DISCLAIMER - Just to reiterate, I have no connection to the original rape survey image or to the Feminists Earning a Reputation (the fearus.org on the image). I just bought the domain name in 2013.

THANK YOU - To the people that have sent me some informative links. I'm sorting through everything now and trying to figure out the best way to present it. I'll try and individually email everyone back to say thanks, even if it was just a short comment. I didn't know this would be this big.

So that's it. If you have anything to add, please let me know through the contact link above (or emailing me at [email protected]. I'm always looking for more links.
