blackbird: an advocacy podcast
True Crime
According to the Rape and Incest National Network, or RAINN, every 37 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. Yet, only 5 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison. We must speak up, we must take these cases seriously, we must believe those telling their stories.
If you or someone you know has been a victim or survivor of sexual assault, reach out for help at RAINN.org or 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
