Gender-based violence is an umbrella term for any harmful act perpetrated against a person based on socially ascribed (i.e. gender) differences between males and females. It includes acts that inflict physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering, threats of such acts, coercion and other deprivations of liberty. These acts can occur in public or in private spaces.

The Atlanta Police Department updated its definition of rape on the first day of 2017. Previously, the crime was defined as a man forcing himself on a woman against her will, but the new definition includes any penetration without consent and applies equally to all genders, an APD spokesman tells Newsweek. That means the rape of a man or transgender person will now be recorded the same way as the rape of a woman.

On June 5, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that convicted sex offenders can be charged the cost of their victims' rape kits. The decision comes after two perpetrators contested their unrelated court orders to pay for their victims' forensic examinations.
In 2009, Adam Teague was charged with sexual assault after his victim said he attacked her while she was sleeping. He initially denied the accusation but her rape kit proved otherwise. In the same year, Bobby Rogers forced a woman to perform oral sex on him while threatening her with a knife.

Wisconsin Department of Justice
Attorney General Brad Schimel, previous recipient of the Wisconsin Victim Witness Professionals' "Professional of the Year" Award, has been fighting on behalf of crime victims for 28 years as a prosecutor. As Attorney General, Schimel has made supporting victims of sexual assault one of his top priorities. Under his leadership Wisconsin is getting unsubmitted sexual assault kits out of the possession of hospitals and local law enforcement agencies and into the hands of forensic analysts for testing so justice can be delivered to sexual assault survivors.
