Medusa & RAINN

Medusa's story is one of pain and resilience- she was transformed into a monster as a result of an act of violence, reflecting the lasting impact of trauma. At Immortal Reign, we recognize the strength required to rise from such experiences. That's why we're committed to donating 10% of proceeds to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the. nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization.

Just as Medusa's story speaks to transformation and power, our contribution to RAINN supports survivors in reclaiming their own voices and rebuilding their lives. 

What to know:

  • Frequency of Assault: In the U.S., someone is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds.
  • Young Women are at Higher Risk: Females ages 18-24 face an elevated risk, particularly in college, where 13% of students experience rape or sexual assault through physical force or incapacitation.
  • Acquaintance Perpetrators: Approximately 3 in 4 rape cases are committed by someone the victim knows, such as friends, acquaintances, or partners. 
  • Low Reporting Rates: Only about 20% of female student survivors report their assault to law enforcement, with many citing reasons such as fear of reprisal or thinking it's a personal matter.
  • Impact on Youth: One in nine girls under 18 and one in 53 boys experience sexual abuse or assault by an adult.
  • Prevalence of Incarcerated Assault: Among inmates, 60% of all sexual violence cases are perpetrated by prison or jail staff.
  • Prevalences on Campuses: Sexual violence is one of the most prevalent crimes on college campuses, with college women being twice as likely to be sexually assaulted as to be robbed.
  • Time of Increased Risk: Sexual assaults on campuses are most common between August and November, often aligning with the start of the academic year.
  • Weapon Use in Assaults: In about 11% of sexual assaults, perpetrators use weapons, with the majority using personal force like hands or feet.
  • Underreporting by Men: Male survivors are even less likely to report their assaults than females, often due to social stigma and lack of support services.
