When growing up in the later part of the last century, the word “RAPE” was strictly taboo and considered derogatory.
The word “RAPE” has long been a forbidden topic due to the discomfort and emotional charge it brings. Our society’s strong norms around sexuality and violence make it difficult to openly discuss such issues, leading to a significant amount of stigma surrounding sexual violence.
Victims often feel ashamed or fearful of judgment, leading to silence and secrecy.
