WOAR also hopes to create
a political pressure group,
Dr. Cooke said, to work for
changes in the legal system.
According to Dr. Cooke, the
rapist now is brought to court
as an innocent stranger.
Previous convictions for sex
crimes cannot be used
against the accused during
the trial. However, the only
defense a rapist has is to
attack the woman's
reputation, Dr. Cooke said.
Women who have been
raped often must answer
embarrassing and
emotionally upsetting
questions about the "grimy
details," Dr. Cooke said.
Victims are asked whether
\ o
the rapis climaxed, whether
he was circumcised or
whether e enjoyed it, she
said. They ust answer these
questions u to three or four
times before the preliminary
hearing, Dr. ooke added.
Dr. Cooke aid in many
cases, the rapist is treated as
the victim, and the victim as
a criminal. It often is implied
that the woman invited the
rape, she said. These at
titudes are a "reflection of
general mores" of society,
according to Dr. Cooke.
WOAR also is working to
change public attitudes
toward rape. They will offer
educational programs and
pamphlets on the subject.
Rap sessions and psychiatric
referral services will be
provided for rape victims who
feel they need emotional
support.

"I'm overjoyed," Cathy
