Rape is one of the most serious and violent crimes that an individual can commit, yet it is often one of the least reported and prosecuted crimes. Many victims are fearful of the legal system, embarrassed and shameced by what has happened to them, or afraid of retribution or scrutiny from their communities if they come forward. Furthermore, there are also social attitudes which contribute to downplaycing the severity rape; these attitudes may make it difficult for prosecutors to convince juries to hold offenders accountable.

Rape is often seen as a crime of privacy, making it difficult to prove. Victims often take a long time to come forward and prosecutors may be hesitant to bring charges, as the prevalence of false reports can be high. Even if charges are brought, the nature of evidence makes it difficult for prosecutors to provide concrete proof in court. As a result, rates of rape convictions are relatively low.
