Sexual Assault

Sexual assault can take a variety of forms, but one thing remains the same: it is not the victim's fault

The term sexual assault refers to sexual contacts or behaviors that occur without the explicit consent of the victim. Several forms of sexual assault are included:

Rape is a type of sexual assault, but not all sexual assaults are raped. The term rape is often used as a legal definition including sexual assault without consent. In the Uniform Crime Report, the FBI defines rape as "vaginal or anus, invading a part or object of the body, or even a small intrusion into the oral cavity to other genital organs, without the consent of the victim" doing. To see how your state legally defines rape and other forms of sexual assault, please see RAINN's state law database.

Power does not always refer to physical stress. Criminals can force victims into sexual activity using emotional compulsion, psychological power, or maneuver. Some perpetrators will use threats to force victims to comply, such as threatening the victims and their families and other intimidation measures.

Most of the perpetrators are people known to the victims. For example, in the case of intimate partner sexual violence or acquaintance rape, 7 out of 10 sexual assaults have been committed by people known to the victim

The term "date rape" is sometimes used to refer to acquaintance rape. The perpetrators of acquaintance rape may be dating, but they may also be classmates, neighbors, friends of other important people, or different kinds of roles. It is important to remember that dates, past intimacy, or other similar kissing actions do not allow someone to agree to increase sexual contact or continue.

In other cases, the victim may not know the criminal at all. This type of sexual violence is sometimes called rape by strangers. Strangers of strangers can occur in various ways.

Dengeki and sexual assault: If the perpetrator attacks the victim quickly and aggressively without contacting in advance (usually at night, public place)

Liaison with sexual assault: When the perpetrator tries to contact the victim and try to invite the victim to his car, or force to force the victim to sexual violence To gain trust

Survivors of rapes of strangers and rape of acquaintances often take responsibility for themselves by encouraging perpetrators. It is important to remember that the victim should never be held responsible for the behavior of the perpetrator

When writing an article about sexual violence, I basically had to do this, so I provided a link to the national attack hotline. When writing about sexual violence, is this the responsible people of our society doing? Do you provide a link to a socially-recognized "aid" organization? The most important thing to help me is religion, but I can not say it. This is rude. Religion is a personal choice and I can not recommend it as a universal choice for those suffering. Anyway, is not it dominant? When they suffer, even if it saves their lives, will they use someone to recruit them in your religion?

Reality: Everyone can be a victim of sexual abuse and sexual assault. It is estimated that one in six people is subjected to sexual abuse or sexual assault throughout his life.
