Thank you for highlighting the disparities that rape incidents receive in the media (“Rapes in poor areas rarely get spotlight,” Page 1, Jan. 4).

While I applaud the media for going all out on the recent rapes in the Wrigleyville area, it also reminded me that every day that rape is not in the news is a day that rape is being ignored.

Every woman should have the support of her alderman, community groups and neighbors when a rape occurs.

Whether it is support for her personal survival or support to prevent another attack, we all need it.

From Wrigleyville to Englewood, every rape is a crime and tragedy.
