Reporting a rape to police is not a "main solution". What does this "resolve"? The rape will not be undone. The victim will be re-victimized multiple times: at their current and future workplaces (see "becoming a liability"); at the police station, when she is interrogated and her account is doubted; in court, when there is prosecution, and her account is doubted again; possibly in court again, when a non-guilty verdict is delivered; etc.
That's a lot of downsides to this "main solution".
Anyway, the problem is not just sexual assaults, but rape culture. Reporting rapes to police does not end rape culture. Changing the culture does, and that's what this article is challenging us to do.
