Rape prevention seminar announced

Rape is an act of violence
and humiliation whereby the
victim (usually female)
experiences overwhelming
fear and a profound sense of
powerlessness and _ help-
lessness which few life
events can parallel.

Rape is considered one of
the fastest growing violent
crimes. In B.C., 547 rapes
were reported in 1981, an
increase of 17.1% over 1980.

These statistics become even
more frightening in view of
the fact that a significant
numoer of rapes go
unreported.

Fear of rape is an
everyday reality for women,
young and old. Few have the
skills to protect themselves
from attack. For the
majority of women the
options available at the time
of an attack are extremely

limited.

To provide the public with
a better understanding of the
subject, and present specific
protection strategies. the
justice institute of B.C. is
sponsoring a three hour
seminar on rape prevention.

Slated for Monday, May
3rd, 7:00 p.m. at the Mount
Pleasant Community Centre,
3161 Ontario Street, the
seminar will cover a number

of topics including: Profile
of a Rapist, Avoidance
Techniques, Protection

Strategies and the Criminal ©

Justice System Response.
This free seminar is open

to both men and women. For

further information or to

pre-register, contact either
the Mount Pleasant Com-
munity Centre, 874-8165, or
the Justice Institute of B.C.
Community Programs: 228-
