Daily Iowan TV: 'Kristin's story' about inspiring women

Daily Iowan TV: 'Kristin's story' about inspiring women - Metro

From the University of Iowa, this story about a mother who is able to take the most dire of circumstances and turn it into an inspiration to us all. Please click the link above to watch.

As Sexual Assault Victims Awareness Month comes to a close, know what the truth is. 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. In 2006, there were over 270,000 victims of sexual assault--in other words, someone was sexual assaulted in the United States every 2 minutes.

What's worse? 60% of sexual assaults are not reported to the police. 73% of rape victims know their assailants. And only 6% of rapists will ever spend a day in jail.

In a free society, in a peaceful society, in an intelligent society--we must do all we can to educate, police, and protect everyone in our communities from becoming victims or criminals.

(Figures and statistics from RAINN--Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network)
