Rape is a very serious problem not just in the United States, but other countries around the world. Since it is a problem globally, it is obvious that there needs to be a change. According to nationmaster, South Africa has had the highest “rape rate” since 2004, Sweden ranked “first for rape” in the European Union, and the United States ranked third for rape amongst “cold countries” since 2010-- and there is more-- which proves that rape is an issue globally, and there needs to be a change. Since rape is an issue all around the world, we must pay attention to what we can do to fix it. People do not realize that rape is actually a global issue that needs to be resolved because there is not enough attention on it. However, there are many groups that are trying to take action.
Furthermore, in order to achieve a prominent difference on rape and sexual assault statistics, people must come together to try to fight against it. This issue can be solved at the global level by having multiple support groups in different countries to help victims of rape or sexual assault. A very inspirational group that helps the feminist movement globally is UN Women. They focus on making a difference in different countries around the world. For instance, their website acknowledges that “...in Albania, UN Women helped mobilize grassroots women and civil society organizations to develop community-based scorecards…” and that “nearly 2,000 people across seven regions—90 per cent of whom were women—participated in rating how well their communities are doing in involving women in public decision-making, stopping gender-based violence, advancing women’s economic well-being and providing social services. “ This is important, because it proves that this organization has the ability to inspire many other feminists to create organizations to make a difference globally. This would help provide many feminists with multiple resources when it comes to feminist issues such as rape.
