However with the underreporting, this makes it inaccurate and harder to determine the actually amount.
While there are many problems in the world, like poverty, famine, cancer, and an abundance of carbon emissions into the planet, there is one that has been in the back of my mind for quite some time: rape culture.

The issue is more than ensuring that women are aware of how protect themselves and know how to avoid these situations because it shouldn’t even be happening.
