“One metric used by the WHO to determine the severity of global rates of coercive, forced sexual activity was the question "Have you ever been forced to have sexual intercourse against your will?" Asking this question produced higher positive response rates than being asked, whether they had ever been abused or raped.[24]

The WHO report describes the consequences of sexual abuse:

Gynecological disorders

Reproductive disorders

Sexual disorders

Infertility

Pelvic inflammatory disease

Pregnancy complications

Miscarriage

Sexual dysfunction

Acquiring sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS

Mortality from injuries

Increased risk of suicide

Depression

Chronic pain

Psychosomatic disorders

Unsafe abortion

Unwanted pregnancy (see Pregnancy from rape)[24].”
