Trigger Warning: This blog discusses rape, sexual violence, victim blaming, and their psychological and social impacts. 

Every time a rape case makes headlines, public outrage follows. But what happens after the attention fades? This blog explores the  gap between awareness and accountability, drawing on psychological research to examine how social norms, power, and collective responses shape society's approach to  rape. It asks whether lasting change depends not only on recognising the problem, but also on responding to it consistently.
