Charlize Theron feels "raped" by media attention.

I have to agree with Louise Roberts take in today's Telegragh. The use of the word "rape" casualises sexual violence and demeans humanity. 

Charlize you may feel violated by the constant media presence - that is understandable. I hear you. 

However  rape is not an accurate description of anything but a sexual crime. 

People let's get really clear on this. 

Rape is not a throw away line.

 I have worked with many brave survivors of this vicious crime. 

It can be overcome but we must not minimise the seriousness of sexual violence. 

Speak out !
