TASV's Definition of Sexual Violence:
Sexual violence is a sexual act that is completed or attempted against a victim's will or when a victim is unable to consent due to age, illness, disability, or the influence of alcohol or other drugs. The term encompasses sexual homicide, r**e, in**st, molestation, fondling, stalking, intimate partner violence and verbal harassment of a sexual nature. Anyone
can experience sexual violence. While the majority of acts are perpetrated by someone known to the victim, anyone can perpetrate sexual violence--a stranger, a person in a position of power or trust, an acquaintance, a relative, a friend, or an intimate partner. Vision:
