The official Tumblr for the Center for Sexual Pleasure & Health![tw: rape] Lifetime rate of rape for women by race
Lifetime rate of rape /attempted rape for women by race:1
- All women: 17.6%
- White women: 17.7%
- Black women: 18.8%
- Asian Pacific Islander women: 6.8%
- American Indian/Alaskan women: 34.1%
- Mixed race women: 24.4%
The rate of rape for indigenous women is just horrifying. This is proooobbbably why you shouldn’t be sexualizing their native dress and wearing it as a Halloween costume. It’s a fucking spit in the face.
Intersectionality is important when studying statistics. Furthermore, these horrifying numbers don’t seem to include trans* women, who are averagely raped at significantly higher rates than their cis women racial counterparts.
