Understanding the impact of sexual violence on male victims
"Non-institutionalized men are rarely assaulted.""Male sexual assault victims are less traumatized by their female counterparts."Believing in these stereotypes has led to underreporting by male victims, a lack of appropriate services, little legal recourse and redress, fewer resources for survivors, and a greater stigma for men compared to female sexual assault victims.
published by Cambridge University Press and led by graduate researcher Milan Zarchev sheds some light on the prevalence of male sexual assault. Zarchev and colleagues at Erasmus University Medical Center found that men who have severe mental illness are far more likely to experience sexual abuse during adulthood than the general population, with prevalence rates as high as 19%, compared to 5-6% for those without severe mental illness.
