Hey Resham, thanks for reaching out and asking. That statistic is based on my own research I've been doing for Who Is Wellness For but also through cross-referencing these:
Thank you, you actually made me think more accurately about that statement and though I've seen these numbers I wonder if it's better to say "higher chance" because this is oscillating information that needs to factor in the intersectionality of each survivor and measure class/ race and other variables of identity into the data. Needless to say, there's a lot to take and factor in, and it's making me want to make this into a larger inquiry. Thank you for inspiring me <3
Thank you for sharing such a plight of suffering. I’ll need space to absorb your story. Your words always reveal Truth!
Thank you for this. Could you share the source for this insane statistic: Women have a 4/5 chance of being raped by someone they know

I feel this CDC report from 2014 is so inaccurate: https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/09/05/cdc-1-in-5-women-raped-often-by-someone-they-know and I wonder what those sources are, or who they asked because from what I've gathered in research most women are raped by someone they know, even tangentially at an alarming rate.
Thank you so much! I will share all of this as well.
