Rape- An Alarming Issue

Introduction-
Rape an act of sexual intercourse with an individual without his or her will, through force or the treat of force. In many jurisdiction, the crime of rape has been included under that of sexual assault, which also surrounds acts that fall short of intercourse. Rape was long considered to be caused by unstoppable sexual desires, but is now understood as a pathological claim of power over a victim.

Scope, effects and motivation-

Rape was an act of sexual intercourse by a man with a women against her will. A rapist or a victim may be an adult of either gender or a child. It is often committed by a male against a female.

Rape is often explained or executed as a illustration of racial, ethnic, and class hatred or as originte from a patriarchal system in which women are viewed as the property of men. Whatever it’s origins, rape is a serious crime and is treated as an offence or crime in most countries with common law systems. The determination of consent often can lead to distressing cross-examination of rape victims in court. As a result the crime to police or refuse to press charges against their assailants.

A vital truth-

It doesn’t matter if the person doing those things is a family member, your friend, or even someone you’re dating — it’s still wrong. Everyone has the right to decide what happens to their own bodies. If you’re dating someone who doesn’t respect your boundaries, you may be in an unhealthy or abusive relationship.

Rape, sexual abuse, or sexual assault can happen to anyone, no matter how old they are, or what race, gender, or sexual orientation they are. Some people believe it only happens to girls, but that’s not true.

What should I do if someone sexually assaulted, abused, or raped me?

If you experienced sexual assault, abuse, or rape, you may be feeling shocked, scared, and uncertain of what to do next.

1. Get to some place safe as soon as possible. Your safety is important. Depending on where you are, you might want to get to an area with more people, or find someone to help you.

2.Decide if you want to talk to the police.

Sexual assault is a crime, and you have the right to report it to the police if you want to. You can call them yourself or ask a rape crisis counselor or a parent, guardian, or someone else you trust to do it for you. The police will ask you questions, and they’ll also talk to you about whether or not you want to press charges.

3.Remember what happened wasn’t your fault.

Sometimes people think it’s their fault if the attacker is a friend, family member, or person they were dating. It’s still not your fault in any of those situations. Even if you started doing something sexual with this person but didn’t want to continue and they forced you anyway, it’s still not your fault. What you were wearing or drinking or how you were acting doesn’t make it your fault. You didn’t ask for this and you didn’t deserve it.
