Original Note:
Withholding the names of rape victims is common around the world in order to protect the victims' privacy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-assault_treatment_of_sexual_assault_victims https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/names-identities-of-victims-of-rape-and-sexual-assault-not-to-be-disclosed-supreme-court/articleshow/67038594.cms https://www.nytimes.com/1989/06/25/us/naming-rape-victim-is-still-a-murky-issue-for-the-press.html https://ethicscasestudies.mediaschool.indiana.edu/cases/naming-newsmakers/anonymity-for-rape-victims.html Thus, a lack of named victims does not mean that sexual violence has not occurred.
