School ∆ RAPE Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without their consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority, or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, has an intellectual disability, or is below the legal age of consent. The term rape is sometimes used interchangeably with the term sexual assault. The types described below are not mutually exclusive: a given rape can fit into multiple categories, by for example being both a prison rape and a gang rape, or both a custodial rape and the rape of a child. 1. GANG RAPE 2. MARITAL RAPE 3. DIMINISHED CAPACITY RAPE 4. AGE RELATED RAPE 5. INCENT ∆ GANG RAPE Gang rape occurs when a group of people participate in the rape of a single victim. Rape involving two or more violators (usually at least three[7]) is widely reported to occur in many parts of the world. Systematic information on the extent of the problem, however, is scant. ∆ MARITAL RAPE Spousal rape also known as marital rape, wife rape, husband rape, partner rape or intimate partner sexual assault (IPSA), is rape between a married or de facto couple without one spouse's consent. Spousal rape is considered a form of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Research reveals that there are no significant difference in post- psychiatric disorders (depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia, and sexual dysfunction) when comparing victims of marital/partner, date, and stranger rape. ∆ DIMINISHED CAPACITY RAPE The type of rape known as diminished is when a person committed sexual penetration on another person who cannot consent to to the sex act people with diminished capacity cannot consent to sexual act due to limited physical or intellectual ability an example would be a person with an intellectual disability.diminished capacity rape also take place when a person has no ability to consent to sexual act due to intoxication. ∆ AGE RELATED RAPE.

Asking this question produced higher response rates than being asked, whether they had ever been abused or raped.
The WHO report describes the consequences of sexual abuse:
1.Gynecological disorders 2.Reproductive disorders 3.Sexual disorders Infertility 4.Pelvic inflammatory disease 5.Pregnancy complications 6.Miscarriage 7.Sexual dysfunction 8.Acquiring sexually transmitted infections, including 9.HIV/AIDS 10.Mortality from injuries Increased risk of suicide 11.Depression 12.Chronic pain 13.Psychosomatic disorders 14.Unsafe abortion 15.Unwanted pregnancy (see Pregnancy from rape) ∆ End Rape Culture Today! 1.Recognize that people neither ask for nor deserve to be abused, harassed, assaulted or raped—ever. Support and believe survivors of sexual violence. 2.Bring awareness and challenge victim-blaming statements. 3.Give constructive input about why comments or jokes that perpetuate rape culture or sexism are not okay. 4.Get help or take action by directly intervening when you see someone taking advantage of a person who is not capable of giving consent. 5.Consent is mandatory and every sexual interaction you have must be consensual--no excuse. 6. Educate on what it means to get and give consent. 7.Build and engage in healthy, respectful relationships. 8.Pledge to never commit or condone any acts of violence. 9.Think critically about how the media depicts sexuality. 10.Take a self-defense class. 11.Your mind, your voice and your body are powerful tools for prevention. 12Teach your children, friends, parents and peers about the myths and realities of sexual assault. 13.Donate your time or money to your local rape crisis center. Physical Effects of Rape Physical effects of rape can arise from both forced sexual assault and those not involving forcible submission, such as drug-assisted date rape. Forced sexual assault frequently causes visible bruising or bleeding in and around the vaginal or anal area and bruises on other parts of the body from coercive violence. But both forced and other types of rape can have many other physical consequences: Painful intercourse (with significant other) Urinary infections Uterine fibroids – non-cancerous tumors in muscle wall Pregnancy Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) – HIV, genital warts, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and others Psychological Effects of Rape Victims experience both short and long-term psychological effects of rape. One of the most common psychological consequences of rape is self-blame. Victims use self- blame as an avoidance-based coping tool. Self-blame slows or, in many cases, stops the healing process. Other common emotional and psychological effects of rape include:
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – feelings of severe anxiety and stress
Depression Flashbacks – memories of rape as if it is taking place again Borderline personality disorder Sleep disorders Eating disorders Dissociative identity disorder Guilt Distrust of others – uneasy in everyday social situations Anger Feelings of personal powerlessness – victims feel the rapist robbed them of control over their bodies
