What is Rape?
The word "rape" is often associated with a violent assault by a stranger, but the fact is that in most cases the attacker is someone who the victim knows and may even trust such as a friend, partner or someone from school/college/work.
Anyone who has been pressured to have sex without giving their consent has been raped.
Find out on the This is Abuse website (external link) how to have your say on the issue and how to seek help.
