Rape is not just forcing sexual intercourse without consent. Nobody, under any circumstances , has the right to violate the body and mind of another person against their will. Spouses, partners, family members, and friends suffer with the victim. Their relationship with the victim may change permanently. Men can also suffer as victims of rape.
Rape can also affect the quality of life in a community by creating fear among residents.
Rape is NOT about sexual gratification. Rape is a crime of violence, anger, and power. It is NOT motivated by sexual desire. In any place where the victim can be trapped or isolated. In cases of anger rape, the rapist uses sexuality as a means of expressing and discharging feelings of pent-up anger and rage.
