On a recent morning conversation, Kamene and Kibe delved into a pressing question: why do we harbor rapists in our midst? The answer lies in some disturbing statistics.
According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), in eight out of 10 cases of rape, the victim knew the person who sexually assaulted them. This alarming rate is a stark reminder of the prevalence of sexual violence in our society.
So, what drives this trend? Kamene and Kibe sought to understand the root cause of this issue. One caller shared a harrowing story of being molested by a cousin at the age of 3, highlighting the ease with which perpetrators can access and exploit vulnerable individuals.
As the conversation progressed, it became clear that many callers had experienced similar situations, with uncles and cousins being the primary perpetrators. The silence surrounding these incidents is deafening, and it's time we acknowledge the predatory nature of these individuals.
