"Against My Will"

Rape is an act of violence that affects woman from all cultures and in all ages. Many men believe that "no" really means "yes" and neglect the suffereing that his victims goes through before, while and after a rape. Woman force to have intercourse agains their will are left wil feelings of shame, quilt, and violation. Rape happens in all cultures and in many different forms, it can occur by force and without force. Many woman who are rape without force fear for their lives or for the lives of their loved ones if they resist in any way to their rapist's demands. Unfortunately, courts today view rape to be valid only if force has been used, if their is no evidence of physical force then the rape is dismissed.

I think all people should come up front and tell the authorities if they were assulted or gotten raped. I know it is hard but sometimes justice is the only relief.
