That is a very powerful post and I feel the need to reply.
For starters what kind of man or woman would abuse another human being in such a manner? Yet alone your own family member?
I am very sorry that happened to you and I couldn't begin to imagine what it feels like to be in your shoes.
There are ways a woman or a man can avoid being raped, such as;
Don't go to places that you are not familiar with such as dark allyways or down in out places, especially after hours.
Learn to scan you surroundings and trust your gut feeling, if something dosn't feel right, then it probably isn't right.
Travel in groups and learn self defense (pepper spray is very effective)
The situation becomes even harder in a domestic setting. In the situation that you described, I did not think that you were at fault. Like you said, It is the rapist that is resbonsible.
The only way, I believe that this sort of action can be prevented is to make the consequence severe, but even then humans are humans.
Where I live, a person would only on average get about two years imprisonment, but that is not justice to what they have caused the victim to undergo.
A life time of pain.
God knows what should be done.
Since the age of 12, I have had friends that were victims of sexual abuse.
Seeing the pain in their eyes was enough to make me weep.
