Notes:	Du Mont and White’s editorial details a number of case studies of incidents of rape and sexual violence against women in various countries worldwide. They relate these situations to the public and, specifically, media attention each received, ranging from positive and awareness raising, to inaccurate and sensationalised, to completely absent. The authors cite numbers, statistics from research studies, and surveys of rates of sexual assault committed against women across the globe, comparing figures from developed and developing countries. Finally, they highlight the danger of rape myths and the media’s ability to change entrenched social attitudes about sexual assault.
