In some societies, in the event of rape, they did not condemn and condemn the criminal, who is often not even found, but the victim himself. Most often, of course, a woman becomes a victim of violence. Such a conviction is accompanied by an explanation: "she has defiant behavior, " "she provoked herself, " but in most cases this is an erroneous opinion.

Not only did the victim suffer a grave injury, but she also developed a persistent feeling of shame and self-loathing. It is almost impossible to cope with such a wound on your own.
