R**e in Prison
The US pledged to end r**e in prisons in 2003 through the Prison R**e Elimination Act (PREA). The Bureau of Justice estimates that 200,000 people are sexually abused behind bars in a single year. Incarcerated youth are at an especially high risk.Though PREA calls for a zero-tolerance policy for r**e in all prisons, jails and correctional facilities, the problem persists.

60% of sexual violence against inmates is perpetrated by staff: the very people whose job it is to keep them safe.
Only 10% of allegations made by inmates were followed by an investigation, and only 1% of prison staff found guilty of engaging in sexual misconduct were subjected to criminal conviction.
Nearly 1 in 8 youth in a juvenile detention facility were victimized: in 80% of cases, a staff member was the perpetrator.
Of the 1,224 complaints filed between 2010-2017 about incidents that took place in ICE custody, 43 were investigated.
Male Survivors
R**e and sexual assault affects men, too.

Nearly 1 in 66 men have experienced a completed or attempted r**e at some point in their lives.
93% of male survivors reported being r**ed by men.
Only 15% of men report sexual assault to the police.
26% of gay men and 37% of bisexual men experience r**e, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 29% of heterosexual men.
Youth
Children and adolescents are at risk for sexual assault and abuse:

Over 57,300 children were sexually abused in 2016.
Almost 10% of high school students in a relationship experienced physical dating violence, and just over 10% experienced sexual violence.

91% victims of r**e and sexual assault are female; 9% are male.

13% attempt su***de.

Women of color, native women, LGBTQ, immigrants and women with disabilities face higher rates of gender-based violence than those who are not part of these groups.
