To have sex using force and/or submitting someone to have sexual intercourse by menace is to practice sexual violence. This cruel kind of violence doesn't necessarily need to be just by rape to be classified as one. A harder approaching can be considered violence, too, if the victim feels like abused.

Sadly, this can happen in many places, what makes us feel like there is no guarantee of how and when it might happen. In the streets, in academic/work environment and event in the victims own house, sexual abuse is becoming a very common crime and it is variables are growing ever more. Of course, the most brutal kind of sexual violence is rape. But there certainly is ways to traumatize someone using sexual menaces and making it become a very deep issue.

Those sick-minded abusers that feel attracted by children are known as pedophiles, and the statistics point that most victimized children are abused inside their own houses - by parents or someone of the family. These children, confused by the way abuser leads them with sexual appeal - don't even know what is the meaning and intentions of such act. The abuser humiliates and makes children to feel frightened.

Using physical coercion and/or psychological, these bad treatments can last a long time. The consequences are huge: children tend to get depressed, unhappy, and afraid of telling things to their parents; feared by the idea of making new friends and trust in people.

If children get very much traumatized with this kind of abuse, the grown ups can get just equally or more traumatized than them. According to the victims report, more than 90% of them are women; and that is not surprising if we head back and see the social stigma around the female gender. In work environment commonly happen cases of a man menacing women in exchange of sexual favors.

Not just at work, but everywhere there is hierarchy, this might happen.

Happily there are many support centers for the victims, ready to help in the best way. There blood tests are made and every kind of material collect, too. That is because support centers are not there just to watch for the unfortunate, but to assure that the abuser will pay for what he did.
