A Facebook post (archived here) published on April 17, 2021, warns about the day of assault. Is April 24, 2021, 'National Rape Day'?' No, that's not true: there is no evidence this event is expected to happen, and there is some evidence that it may have originated as some internet trolls' idea of a joke.Īlthough the claim has primarily spread on TikTok, it also appeared on other social media platforms.
