Sexual Harm

Source: Rape Crisis Centre and Rape Crisis

Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual behaviour that causes humiliation, pain, fear or intimidation. This could include unwanted touching, kissing, forcing someone to watch sexual acts, pornography, sexual harassment or forcing someone into prostitution.

The definition of rape is the intentional penetration of a vagina, anus or mouth by a penis, by force and against the will of the victim, and therefore not consented.

Most cases of sexual abuse are males assaulting women, however there are also cases of males being assaulted by both women and men. Many rapes are committed by a person that the victim knows, perhaps a husband, partner, member of the family or work colleague.
