The rape of men: the darkest confidential of war
Of all the secrets of war, there is one that is so well kept that it exists mostly as a rumour. It is usually denied by the perpetrator and his victim. Governments, aid agencies and human rights defenders at the UN barely acknowledge its possibility. Yet every now and then someone gathers the courage to narrate of it. This is just what happened on an ordinary afternoon in the office of a kind and careful counsellor in Kampala, Uganda. For four years Eunice Owiny had been employed by Makerere University's Refugee Rule Project (RLP) to help displaced people from all over Africa work through their traumas. This particular case, though, was a puzzle. A female client was having marital difficulties. "My husband can't have sex," she complained. "He feels very unpleasant about this. I'm sure there's something he's keeping from me."
Owiny invited the husband in. For a while they got nowhere. Then Owiny asked the wife to depart. The man then murmured cryptically: "It happened to me." Owiny frowned. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an vintage sanitary pad. "Mama Eunice," he said. "
Same sex sexual violence and sexual violence involving a trans complainant or suspect/defendant - Toolkit for Prosecutors
Introduction
The purpose of this toolkit is to support prosecutors considering issues which may arise in relation to cases of sexual violence involving adults where both the complainant and Suspect/Defendant are the same sex; or where the complainant is bisexual or trans. It is intended as a guide to assist prosecutors to examine the available evidence, identify specific considerations, and contemplate the case in the flash of all relevant circumstances.
This toolkit is intended to complement current policy or guidance in relation to rape and serious sexual offences, including the Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy and position statement on male victims. Key VAWG policies and guidance documents can be accessed here.
The starting point for prosecutors is always the training they own received on prosecuting RASSO cases. However, there are different and/or additional factors to consider in same sex situations or where the complainant is bisexual or trans.
This toolkit is divided into the following sections:

LGBT people nearly four times more likely than non-LGBT people to be victims of violent crime
LGBT people are nearly four times more likely than non-LGBT people to experience forceful victimization, including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated or simple assault, according to a new study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Statute. In addition, LGBT people are more likely to experience violence both by someone well-known to the victim and at the hands of a stranger.
Researchers analyzed data from the 2017 National Crime Victimization Survey, the first nationally representative and comprehensive criminal victimization data to add information on the sexual orientation and gender persona of respondents.
Results showed that, in 2017, LGBT people experienced 71.1 victimizations per 1,000 people, compared to 19.2 victimizations per 1,000 people for non-LGBT people. LGBT people had higher rates of serious force victimization in almost every type of violent crime except robbery, which showed no significant difference between LGBT and non-LGBT people.
“It is clear that LGBT are at greater exposure of violent victimization, but the question is why,” said lead author Andrew R.
Sexual health for gay and attracted to both genders men
Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to go by on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Using a condom helps protect against HIV and lowers the uncertainty of getting many other STIs.
If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone new, you should have an STI and HIV try every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is significant, as some STIs do not result in any symptoms.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.
Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can receive it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated diet and drink.
Symptoms of hepatitis A can emerge up to 8 weeks after sex and include tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).
Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a entire recovery within a couple of months.
MSM can avoid getting hepatitis A by:
- washing hands after se
