Blog #1 Women's Discrimination Project

Over the past few days, I have been researching the modern discrimination against women for my group. I've come across many statistics that have been a big wake up call for me about have evil the world can be sometimes. It's sickening to think that over 17.7 million women in the United States alone are victims of rape or attempted rape. And it doesn't just end there. Not only are that many raped but they are also often blamed for their own rape. This is otherwise known as "rape splaining." I didn't even know this existed until i began this project. I hope that eventually women can feel safer going out alone or even just walking to her car without having to feel unsafe.
