Survey

What percentage of women actually attempt suicide after being raped?

Research suggests that almost 1/3 of all rape victims have at least one period of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) during their lives and for many of these women, the depression can last for a long period of time. Thoughts about suicide are also common. Studies estimate that 1/3 of women who are raped contemplate suicide, and 17% of rape victims actually attempt suicide.
