Rape
HUSO YI
In one study, almost half (45.5 percent) of female high school students reported having been
sexually harassed by being touched on the breast, hips, and genital areas and, among them, 99.3
percent had been harassed by their male friends (Kim et al. 1997). The victims’ responses were:
70.8 percent tried to avoid the situation, 11.3 percent showed no resistance, 10.1 percent
confronted the harasser with shouting, and only 0.8 percent looked for help. After being raped, 29.2
percent did nothing, 25.8 percent talked to friends, 14.6 percent told their mother, 2.2 percent
reported the assault to the police, and 1.1 percent spoke to a teacher. Having no education about
rape and a very low reporting rate does nothing to reduce the incidence of rape, and may well
promote it. [The law dealing with rape used to be categorized under the title “Crime Against
Chastity.” This divided the victims of rape into two groups, respectable women who deserve legal
protection and those (fallen women) who do not. Therefore, it was irrelevant to the court decision
whether or not the victim resisted. Also irrelevant was the victim’s sexual history (Chang 2000).
The myths of rape were still prevalent among males at that time: “Rape occurs because of men’s
uncontrollable sexual urge” (69.0 percent), “a sexy female’s looks provoke rape” (93.9 percent),
“the best prevention is women’s caution” (66.2 percent), and “rape cannot occur if women
persistently refuse” (52.6 percent) (Byun et al. 2000) (Huso Yi)]
