Michelle Torrise on 25 Oct 13"Sexual violence (or sexual activity without freely given consent) is a major public health problem in the U.S. According to the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men in the U.S. have been raped at some point in their lives, and experts believe even those numbers underestimate the problem since many such crimes go unreported. Sexual violence can lead to numerous long-term health consequences, including chronic pain, headaches, stomach problems, sexually transmitted diseases, and psychological trauma."
