Rape: Guilty until proven innocent?

[Mermaid]

The term Rape culture doesn't imply the number of rapes committed. It is more about the cultural attitude. By the way, most rapes go unreported because

a) Prosecution is very, VERY rare
b) Victim blaming and shaming is alive and well, and
c) The victim is quite often accused of lying, or the crime is minimized. That's rape culture.

People shouldn't get shamed of being raped they need to be supported.  It's even worse when it comes down to the fact
if a person in a  religious position such as a pastor does it to children I.E. vatican. The victims shouldn't be shamed or even 
told it was their fault.

I am a survivor myself. I was raped by a random person when I was 15. I witnessed the doubt an shaming and blaming firsthand, and I think my experience was probably better than that of a lot of other rape survivors. I was questioned about my outfit, why I was where I was, whether I made it up for the attention, etc. Fortunately, I kind of expected it, so it didn't mess me up in the head too much.

The man was never found. My rape kit was never processed. As far as I know, it's either rotting away on a shelf somewhere or has been tossed out. Nobody ever told me anything about it.
