Research Question:  How much rape actually happens and what is going to prevent it from further happening?

While I was reaching I came across an article that appealed to me I thought it would cover my research question that I has in mind, but as I read it I found that it didn’t cover what exactly I had in mind. While I read the story I changed my question too how much rape actually happens and what is going to prevent it from further happening?

In my first article it stated that approximately 1.69 to 1.80 million women reported having been raped in their lifetime, and approximately 3.07 to 3.37 million women reported experiencing intimate partner sexual violence. And it went even further to answer my question by say that future policies and programs should focus on abuse within families and eliminate the acceptance of and impunity surrounding sexual violence nationwide while also maintaining and enhancing efforts to stop militias from perpetrating rape.  There were many different aspects of this article that says this; it just shows the evidence to which they found it.  For example, they did a chart/table providing information on the estimates of sexual violence in women. Then they went into detail on how that data helped then.
