• Description:
  Sexual violence is a complex public health problem that can affect persons across their lifespan. It often begins early and can have lifelong impacts on health. Sexual violence comprises numerous acts that happen without the consent of the victim or where the victim cannot consent or refuse, ranging from street harassment of a sexual nature to unwanted penetrative acts. It can be committed by any type of perpetrator (e.g., friend, acquaintance, or intimate partner) and occurs in and outside of the context of intimate partner violence. Sexual violence victimization is associated with negative mental health outcomes, chronic health conditions, and risky health behaviors. For example, sexual violence victimization has been linked to many short- and long-term mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and PTSD symptoms, and suicidal ideation and attempts. It has also been associated with physical injuries and health conditions such as genital and other injuries, disability, HIV, other sexually transmitted diseases, and asthma.
  
  This report summarizes the lifetime and past 12-month prevalence of five forms of sexual violence victimization of women and men in the United States which includes rape, being made to penetrate someone (men only), sexual coercion, unwanted sexual contact, and sexual harassment in a public place. It also includes findings that highlight the differences in the forms of sexual violence victimization prevalence by race/ethnicity, characteristics of the victimization (type and sex of perpetrator, age at first victimization), direct impacts of the victimization, and its association with certain health conditions.
