Rape

Rape often happens in familiar, secure surroundings with someone who is known and trusted by the victim. The motivation is the same; not overwhelming sex and passion as is often believed, but rather a sense of domination, power and aggression. With the aid of dramatised reconstructions, rape victims tell in their own words the reality of their experiences and how their lives were affected afterwards.
