DOMESTIC VIOLENCE; SEXUAL VIOLENCE.

Sexual violence is "any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, or other act directed against a person’s sexuality using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting. It includes rape, defined as the physically forced or otherwise coerced penetration of the vulva or anus with a penis, other body part or object."

It will not be wrong to state emphatically that it is the women that suffers most. They are always victim to such violence. Consent is very important before penetration.
It is wrong to punish a woman because you want to have sex with her as a man against her Will, it does not matter the circumstances surrounding your meeting, her right before penetration still stands.
According to the first report of ''WHO Mult-country study on women's health and domestic violence against women'' (2005) low-middle income countries found that, among women aged 15-49 :
1. Between 15% of women in Japan and 71% of women in Ethiopia reported physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime;
2. Between 0.3–11.5% of women reported sexual violence by someone other than a partner since the age of 15 years;
3. And the first sexual experience for many women was reported as forced – 17% of women in rural Tanzania, 24% in rural Peru, and 30% in rural Bangladesh reported that their first sexual experiences.

In fact I have seen a situation where a man can't enjoy sex with his wife without being violent with the woman. When a woman is not ready to have sex, she deserves to be respected. Doing otherwise is very wrong both morally and legally.

Risk factors for sexual violence include:
1. Lower levels of education
2. Exposure to child maltreatment
3. Witnessing family violence
4. Antisocial personality disorder or Low self-esteem
5. Harmful use of alcohol
6. Having multiple partners or suspected by their partners of infidelity and
7. Attitudes that are accepting of violence and gender inequality.



I STAND WITH WOMEN AND I SAY NO TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE!
