Hannah's Truth

Hannah is just a fictional character I made up. Her story is just something from my imagination.

But I hate to write about something so terrible that is a true reality for some.

Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. (Resouce: RAINN)

in FY16 (1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017), Child Protective Services found strong evidence or proof that 57,329 children were victims of sexual abuse.(Resouce: RAINN)

2 out of 3 were from ages 12-17.(Resouce: RAINN)

82% of these victims were girls. That means 1 in 9 females under the age of 18 will experience sexual abuse or assault at the hands of an adult.(Resouce: RAINN)

Females aged 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.(Resouce: RAINN)

And the worst part is, 93% will know their abuser. It's either an acquaintance or a family member.(Resouce: RAINN)
