520 _aThis article draws on interviews with victims of New Zealand serial rapist, Malcolm Rewa, conducted for the author's doctoral thesis. The author looks at the contradictory messages women have historically been given: Physical resistance is necessary to prove rape occurred, but also resistance can aggravate the violence. The author details women's physical and mental rape survival strategies and connects the women's accounts with current understandings about rape prevention, self-defence and surviving rape. The concepts of resistance and survival are discussed as they relate to feminist theoretical debates about victimisation, women's agency, and resistance to power. The author concludes that rape is a physically and mentally violent act, and so women's resistance of the mind and spirit need to be recognised as much as their physical resistance. The content of this paper can be found in a paper presented at the Expanding Our Horizons conference, Sydney, NSW, 18-22 February 2002 - see second link.
