Rape

In legal term rape is unlawful sexual intercourse were a male or female did not give consent at the time for the intercourse, and rape also is when the rapist knows that the victim has not given consent for the intercourse and doesn't care and still carries on.
Rape is rape, regardless of the relationship between the rapist and the victim. It can be a total stranger, someone you recognise by sight, but have never really communicated with or someone you know.

Rape is a very personal and intimate traumatic experience, so i think it is very hard for the victim to seek and ask for help. But there are many organisations which are qualified in dealing with such traumatic cases as they provide the following help
* a free confidential service
* counselling from a specially trained team
* an opportunity to talk through your concerns
* someone to listen sympathetically
* information on organisations which can provide further support and/or information.
