The Hotline, which has been in existence for years is funded by private donations and staffed bv CETA workers. Many women who are raped or assaulted do not report the crime to police Estimates place the number of unreported rapes at anywhere from 50 to 90 percent There is a wide range of situations and emotions that hold women back from reporting rape to police. Some women have been threatened with retaliation by the rapist if they tell anyone they were raped Some don’t know about police and court procedures and are afraid they might be exposed to a humiliating process. A surprising number of women know the men who raped them. Many times, the rapist is a member of the victim’s own family. The victim who knows her rapist may have a particularly difficult time reporting the rape to police. In general, one of the most difficult obstacles for a woman who has been raped is her fear of being blamed and her own self blame. Our society has a long history of blaming the victims rather than the people responsible for the crime. Many women believe the myth that anyone who gets raped brought it on herself — she “ asked for it,” or “she got what she deserved for not being careful enough.” There are women who blame themselves for being raped even though they were at home asleep with their doors locked. People need to realize that the most important responsibility for a rape always lies with the rapist, not the victim. The Rape Relief Hotline is doing research to un derstand the problem of non-reporting. If you have been raped or assaulted and would be willing to share your experience and recommendations about changing this situation, call the Hotline at 224-7125, or write to 522 SW 5th St., Portland. 97204. All interviews, letters or surveys will be kept strictly confidential. We would also like you to know about our counseling and other services which include a rape victim’s support group.
