Is rape really going up though, or is it just that women feel more empowered to report it now?

It's an important question. In the past, rape would often go un-reported since the woman would not have a legal leg to stand on, would be shamed for it, or even see marital rape as "normal" and something she had to tolerate.

It's the 21st Century (in the Western world at least) though, rape is taken a lot more seriously now and is relatively de-stigmatised for the victims, so more women are coming forward.

That's why I'm skeptical when I see reports that rape is (apparently) SO much higher in Western countries than it is in socially-backwards developing countries. It's probably not, the figures probably work out about the same, but a woman in Sweden or Canada is far more likely to report it and be taken seriously than a woman in Pakistan.

Here you go, straight from the Gatestone Institute and the horse's mouth.

According to Gatestone Institute, “Forty years after the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the formerly homogenous Sweden into a multicultural country, violent crime has increased by 300% and rapes by 1,472%.” The overwhelming majority of rapists are Muslim immigrants. The epidemic is so bad that some blonde haired Scandinavian women are dying their hair black in the hopes of warding off potential Muslim predators.

Nor is this phenomenon a product of chance; some modern day Muslims actually advocate for it. Back in 2011, a female politician and activist trying to combat sexual immorality in Kuwait suggested that Muslims import white sex slaves. After explaining how she once asked Islamic clerics living in the city of Mecca concerning the legality of sex slavery and how they all confirmed it to be perfectly legitimate, she explained:

"A Muslim state must [first] attack a Christian state—sorry, I mean any non-Muslim state—and they [the women, the future sex slaves] must be captives of the raid. Is this forbidden? Not at all; according to Islam, sex slaves are not at all forbidden. [See here, here, and here for more on Islamic law and sex slavery.]"
