{{Important}}'''Rape''' is the act of engaging in sexual activity without the consent of the victim. Rape is often between a male abuser and a female victim, but it can also be between a female abuser and a male victim, as well as between two males or two females.

Worldwide, sexual violence, including rape, is primarily committed by males against females. Rape by strangers is usually less common than rape by people the victim knows, and male-on-male and female-on-female prison rapes are common and may be the least reported forms of rape.

Widespread and systematic rape (e.g., war rape) and sexual ~~slavery can~~ occur during international conflict. These practices are [[crimes against humanity]] and [[war crimes]]. Rape is also recognized as an element of the crime of [[genocide]] when committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a targeted ethnic group.

People who have been raped can be traumatized and develop posttraumatic stress disorder. Serious injuries can result along with the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. A person may face violence or threats from the rapist, and, sometimes, from the victim's family and relatives.
