Rape is forced, unwanted sexual intercourse. Rape, sometimes also called sexual assault, can happen to both men and women of any age.

Rape is about power, not sex. A rapist uses actual force or violence - or the threat of it - to take control over another human being. Some rapists use drugs to take away a person's ability to fight back. Rape is a crime, whether the person committing it is a stranger, a date, an acquaintance, or a family member.  No matter how it happened, rape is frightening and traumatizing. People who have been raped need care, comfort, and a way to heal.

rapists do not get long enough in prisn, and usually get away with what they have done. They should be punished for life and have a longer sentence even be locked up for life and get should still get a sentence when a person reports rape a while after.  No rapist should get away with rape lightly!!!  Please sign this petition to make the punishment more extreme!! No one deserves to get away with raping!!!  People who rape are sick in the head!!
