Two Minutes
Location
Here in America
Every two minutes
Someone is sexually assaulted
We blame and stigmatize
We humiliate and scar
No wonder 60% of rapes aren't reported to the police
We say we love, we say we care
Yet why is it
That 97% of rapists won't spend a day in jail
We teach our girls it's always their fault
And we tell our boys they can't get raped
When one in ten men become victims
We say the victims are just too 'slutty'
While 44% of victims are under 18
And 15% are under 12
They say to stick with your friends
But isn't that dangerous
When 33% of attackers are friends or acquaintances
I've felt the pain
I've felt the stigma, the blame, the jokes
I am the one in the one in six American women who have been sexually assaulted
We call ourselves a great nation
But right now
