With the whole debackle about india and the rape cases coming to light outside the country ive seen many people tote the argument “71% of rape cases in India go unreported”. So i started thinking about how do we even know this if they go unreported?

Theres surveys that ask about stuff like if you were a victim of rape and if you reported it, we can with a decent enough sample size extrapolate the ratio that its gonna be for the whole population as well.
