San Francisco Chronicle writer Kevin Fagan interviews NOW President Terry O’Neill in this moving article about violence against women. Fagan tells the story of three women who were brutally gang raped and lived to tell about it, and the lessons they learned as they continue to recover and try to find peace: “Gang rapes constitute 11 percent of the estimated 100,000 rapes reported annually, according to national statistics. And while 73 percent of all rapes are committed by attackers known to their victims, in gang rape the opposite is true – 75 percent are committed by strangers.”
