They need to go find a group situation, or, failing that, another woman. While I absolutely believe that rapists, and only rapists, are responsible for rape, I was shocked at the number of victims who were raped by the person (always male, though I realize women aren't 100% safe, just 99%) to whom they turned for protection and/or comfort because they were scared by someone/something else. If we could somehow instill in young women the idea that they should turn to each other for protection (and are capable of providing, and owe each other, that protection), we might at least make a dent in the problem.

I actually know the answer- my D did. She heard someone screaming in the the residence and went out with her whip in hand(she hunts). The guys ran away (and ended up being apprehended but one had already raped one girl). He was expelled as was his friend who stood by. At least some schools try to do the right thing.
