Malaysia has a recorded of 31,685 rape cases between the year 2000 to 2013 - with 2,111 cases involving underage rape victims. Though, this study, while will discuss on the issue in general, will specifically explore on the perceptions of how rape victims and rape itself is viewed at large.

Finding shows that gender-based perceptions is a strong variable — supporting previous studies; while ethnic-cultural and religious based perceptions provided the least impact towards affecting perceptions. |
