The article discusses the alarming statistics surrounding sexual violence against women in America, noting that one in five women will experience rape or attempted rape. Notably, a significant portion of victimization occurs in adolescents aged 11 to 17. It emphasizes the lack of accountability for perpetrators, with 975 out of 1,000 facing no legal consequences, attributed to societal biases. Moreover, it presents a new report by California advocates for improving women's safety and rights, juxtaposed against a backdrop of increasing misogyny and restrictive policies, emphasizing the need for proactive measures in combatting sexual violence.
