What every women should know
Consider these alarming statistics
about rape: every six minutes a rape
occurs; one out every three women has
been raped; and every 21 hours a rape is
committed on a college campus. Ten
times as many rapes are committed as are
reported. These sobering statistics pose

their lives.
These are
some of the
topics covered

tion and distraction techniques and how to
develop an action plan if involved in a
confrontation.
A fact that is stressed throughout the
RAD program is that strength is not a key
factor in overcoming a perpetrator. Any
woman, regardless of her size or shape,
