Abstract
Despite increasing awareness of men’s violence against women, sexual violence continues at an alarming scale: more than 1 in 4 women report being raped or sexually assaulted as an adult. But fewer than 3 in 100 rapes reported to the police result in a conviction. The viral spread of #MeToo in 2017 was hailed as a watershed moment for women’s rights, but rape myths remain deeply embedded in our collective psyche. The impacts of this stretch far and wide, determining whether victims report to the police or not, whether they access support services, or whether their cases result in a conviction.
