LGBT people nearly four times more likely than non-LGBT people to be victims of violent crime
LGBT people are nearly four times more likely than non-LGBT people to experience vicious victimization, including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated or simple assault, according to a new study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Regulation. In addition, LGBT people are more likely to experience violence both by someone well-known to the victim and at the hands of a stranger.
Researchers analyzed data from the 2017 National Crime Victimization Survey, the first nationally representative and comprehensive criminal victimization data to encompass information on the sexual orientation and gender culture of respondents.
Results showed that, in 2017, LGBT people experienced 71.1 victimizations per 1,000 people, compared to 19.2 victimizations per 1,000 people for non-LGBT people. LGBT people had higher rates of serious hostility victimization in almost every type of violent crime except robbery, which showed no significant difference between LGBT and non-LGBT people.
“It is clear that LGBT are at greater peril of violent victimization, but the question is why,” said lead author Andrew R.
Same sex sexual violence and sexual violence involving a trans complainant or suspect/defendant - Toolkit for Prosecutors
Introduction
The purpose of this toolkit is to support prosecutors considering issues which may arise in relation to cases of sexual force involving adults where both the complainant and Suspect/Defendant are the same sex; or where the complainant is bisexual or transitioned. It is intended as a guide to assist prosecutors to examine the available evidence, identify specific considerations, and consider the case in the soft of all relevant circumstances.
This toolkit is intended to complement current policy or guidance in relation to rape and serious sexual offences, including the Aggression Against Women and Girls Strategy and position declaration on male victims. Key VAWG policies and guidance documents can be accessed here.
The starting point for prosecutors is always the training they have received on prosecuting RASSO cases. However, there are diverse and/or additional factors to consider in same sex situations or where the complainant is bisexual or trans.
This toolkit is divided into the following sections:
- General Considerations
- Sexual violence b
The rape of men: the darkest secret of war
Of all the secrets of war, there is one that is so good kept that it exists mostly as a rumour. It is usually denied by the perpetrator and his victim. Governments, aid agencies and human rights defenders at the UN barely acknowledge its possibility. Yet every now and then someone gathers the courage to tell of it. This is just what happened on an ordinary afternoon in the office of a caring and careful counsellor in Kampala, Uganda. For four years Eunice Owiny had been employed by Makerere University's Refugee Law Venture (RLP) to help displaced people from all over Africa work through their traumas. This particular case, though, was a puzzle. A female client was having marital difficulties. "My husband can't have sex," she complained. "He feels very bad about this. I'm sure there's something he's keeping from me."
Owiny invited the husband in. For a while they got nowhere. Then Owiny asked the wife to leave. The man then murmured cryptically: "It happened to me." Owiny frowned. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an old sanitary pad. "Mama Eunice," he said. "
Sexual health for same-sex attracted and bisexual men
Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Using a condom helps shield against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.
If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone modern, you should have an STI and HIV check every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is important, as some STIs do not result in any symptoms.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.
Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can receive it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated food and drink.
Symptoms of hepatitis A can show up to 8 weeks after sex and contain tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).
Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a packed recovery within a couple of months.
MSM can evade getting hepatitis A by:
