     Any compensation, whether

     Rape has existed ever  
     
     the appearance of man and 
     
     woman on this earth. Women 
     
     are the victims and can be 
     
     raped at any age, any time, 
     
     and any place. For the ma- 
     
     jority of their lives they 
     
     carry around a universal 
     
     fear. There are no certian 
     
     types of women who are rap: 
     
     ed, likewise there are no 
     
     certian types of men who 
     
     rape. 
     
    

    
     Women all over the world,- 
     
     of every race, age,colour, 
     
     and every creed live in ' 
     
     fear of being rapedrThey

     They are told and taught, 
     
     time-after—time,  Since 
     
     parents first tell them 
     
     about sex, that there are 
     
     dangerous people and situ—_ 
     
     ations 'out there' , and as 
     
     young girls they soon begin 
     
     to realize that they have 
     
     little or no control over 
     
     this danger. 
     
    

    
     Some women, who suffer from 
     
     the fear of rape, may not

     The myth persists that women 
     
     enjoy and want to be raped. 
     
     The truth is thatmenarethe 
     
     aggressors and the pursuers 
     
     while women are the pursued. 
     
    

    
     A woman who has been raped 
     
     feels outraged, violated, 
     
    
   
   
    
     'dirty, used, often guilty, 
     
    
   
   
    
     and during the rape attack 
     
     itself, she is most faerful 
     
     for her life. 
     
    

    
     Rape is a trumatic experience 
     
     which results in a crisis.

     Victims go through various

     inability to keep food down. 
     
     Some time ago there appeared

     that of public education. 
     
     This was done largely by
