What does it take to prove rape?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about what happens to women when they report rape. According to the Department of Justice, 300,000 women are raped every year in the US, but less than one percent of rapes result in incarceration. So what does justice mean for rape survivors? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How does the criminal system treat the accusers and the accused? It's your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Julie Baltzley, a case manager for San Francisco Women Against Rape

Julie Posadas-Guzman, an advocate with Bay Area Women Against Rape and President of JPG Consultants

Wendi Deetz, a teacher at Alive & Kicking Self Defense, a non-profit women's self-defense teaching cooperative based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
