Much they alter the odds is a matter of debate, and I think there are things that can alter the odds significantly. However anyone saying it is the victims faults is a pig, plain and simple. It is not the women's fault and nor should she think like that. And as for martial rape there is something you can do about that, expose Muslim marriage laws, as they are responsible for much of that (not all) of that phenomena. I also think that is the most disgusting form of rape besides pedophilia.The reason I say rape cannot be prevented by the potential victim is because you never know when these things will happen. Yes you can make institutional changes like education, abolishing child marriage, clearing up what imams are telling muslims about marriage and sex, but those are not things that a woman can do to keep herself safe on a day to day basis. I'm arguing that on that basis there's almost nothing that makes it significant. I am willing to concede that moving to a neighbourhood/country with lower rape stats will better your chances (if you can), but I can't think of anything else.
Have a look at this website: http://projectunbreakable.tumblr.com/
It really shows how often rape is committed by someone you know. I almost feel like the type where you get grabbed on a road is the minority. Mostly you know them. They have access to you. You even trust them. What can an individual do to protect themselves from so many unknowns?
However in truth I agree with the essence of what you say, you will never eliminate the crime completely. I just feel that when women act as if there is nothing they can do to help reduce risk that leaves them powerless even though it is not true.

Yeah, but these I sometimes think are the important talks. I for one welcome your input.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
