Rape is a serious crime defined as non-consensual sexual intercourse or sexual acts forced upon someone against their will. Consent must be clear, voluntary, and given without coercion or manipulation. Rape can occur in various situations and can affect individuals of any gender. It has profound physical and emotional consequences for the victim. Legal definitions and penalties for rape vary by jurisdiction, but it is generally recognized as a violation of personal autonomy and integrity. Societal awareness and support for victims are crucial to addressing this issue effectively.
