• One in five women will be raped at some point in their lives. Factoring in child sexual abuse, the figure goes to 1 in 3.
• As many as 70% of women are sexually harassed at work or at school.
• “Date” or “acquaintance” rape is on the rise, accounting for the largest category of reported sexual crimes (in eight out of ten cases of rape, the victim knew the person who sexually assaulted them); one in ten women have been raped by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
• Young women (ages 18-35) are in particular need of this book since they are at greater risk of being victims; 84% of women who have reported sexually coercive experiences say that it occurred during their first four semesters on campus.
• Research suggests that girls and women who say “no!” firmly, yell, or physically fight back have a better chance of escaping a sexually coercive situation without being raped, compared to those who freeze, cry, apologize or politely resist, which some attackers view as “token” refusals, not to be taken seriously.
AUDIENCE:
• Women who have difficulty saying no to unwanted sexual advances (this includes those raised to be “nice girls” and not “rock the boat,” those raised to never challenge authority, those who have already been sexually abused in childhood, and women who are continually pressured by their intimate partners for sex or to engage in sexual activities they find repugnant) • Young women ages 16–30—young career women, girls going off to college, and even high school students. • Women who were sexually assaulted or sexually abused in childhood (1 in 3 women) • Women who are concerned about sexual harassment—on the job and in school settings • Women plagued by street harassment • Victims of intimate partner sexual assault
