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. |
