Rape, sometimes also called sexual assault, can happen to both men and women of any age.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines rape as: "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."..

Rape is forced and unwanted. It's about power, not sex.

A rapist uses actual force or violence - or the threat of it - to take control over another human being.

Some rapists use drugs to take away a person's ability to fight back.

Rape is a crime, whether the person committing it is a stranger, a date, an acquaintance, or a family member...No matter how it happened, rape is upsetting. People who have been raped need care, comfort, and a way to heal...

What's the right thing to do if you've been raped? Take care of yourself in the best way for you. For some people, that means reporting the crime immediately and fighting to see the rapist brought to justice. For others it means seeking medical or emotional care without reporting the rape as a crime.
