Rape Escape Should Be A Part Of School Curriculum

Created by C.S. on June 12, 2013

One in every three women will be raped, however schools don't teach how to escape a rapist, it wouldn't be difficult or time consuming. Drivers Education and Health are already taught, but all we learn are refusal skills. Time and again studies have been shown that rapists rape because they want to dominate someone and if of the 143 million women in the United States 47 million will get raped, why aren't schools required to teach every girl rape escape, as in how to physically escape from an assailant.
If you are unsure as to what I mean when I talk about rape escape, this 8 minute clip shows exactly what I mean:
