See Why Its Easy For Rapist To Rape

Rape has become a serious issue, tearing apart so many men and women. It has, therefore, become imperative for everybody, especially women to be informed on the different ways to avoid getting raped or sexually assaulted.

It has been gathered that rapists use some drugs to enable them to carry out the act.  They are known as date rape drugs; they can be slipped into a drink unnoticed because they have no colour, smell, or taste.

It is hard for you to tell you are being drugged until the deed has been done.
