In July 2016, Germany changed its legislation on rape to clarify that “no means no”. That’s right … in July 2016. Until now, by virtue of Section 177 of the German Criminal Code, a guilty verdict in cases of sexual assault demanded, shockingly, signs of physical defence.
Such laws, unsurprisingly, have long had a pernicious effect on the experience of victims. To characterise the recent changes as timely is a ridiculous understatement.

Often, people have
criticised government for the lackluster response to rape cases in the country. Many are worried that despite the increasing cases of rape, culprits are hardly punished, making the victims not to have confidence in the justice system in the country.
Some critics have argued that should the various female professional groups, gender based non-governmental organisations (NGOs), female law makers and indeed the entire Nigerian women take up the fight against rape, the menace will be curbed.

The world can be a dark place for many children: the "lost boys" from Sudan, refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria, child sex workers in Brazil, baby girls abandoned in China, kids pulled into gang drug wars in the United States.
Such suffering by children is more common than most people might think and represents what some believe to be one of our biggest public-health crises of all time.

Distinct brain patterns visible on neuroimaging reveal patterns of response that correlate with the ability, or inability, to cope with psychological stress.
"The findings from this paper add to the field by showing how the brain responds to acute stress while it is happening and unfolding," first author Rajita Sinha, PhD, the Foundations Fund Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University and director of the Yale Stress Center, in New Haven, Connecticut, told Medscape Medical News.

The Indonesian government’s response in the wake of a spate of rape and murder of young women and children this year has been widely welcomed by the public in general, but concerns remain about the existence of a “rape culture” in which many victims are ignored.
The government response is seen as reactive, providing penalties for crimes against women and children, but doing nothing to reduce the incidence of such crimes or providing more guarantees of safety for the most vulnerable groups in society.

Kindergarten teacher Erica Nunemaker ripped down the clip chart she used for behavior management in her classroom. Children moved their clip up for good behavior and down for bad behavior.
Nunemaker realized the same students were moving down every day. The clip was a public display of the student’s failure, and children weren’t learning how to fix their behavior.

There is mounting evidence in the medical literature that intimate partner violence, including strangulation, has long-term negative health consequences for survivors. This impact, what Dr. Ellen Taliaferro terms the "Pandora Effect", lingers long after the bruises fade, the bones mend, and the abuse is over. Still, many victims, their friends and relatives, and those who serve them in the domestic violence advocacy, medical and law enforcement communities fail to understand how significantly this lingering footprint of violence is affecting their well-being and ability to carry on a normal life.

Nurses trained to conduct forensic sexual assault examinations will soon perform them on-site at 22 facilities in the Missouri Department of Corrections as part of a new cost-cutting program.
Nurses often perform a basic medical exam on sexual assault victims to make sure they are physically okay and to check them for serious injuries. But sexual assault nurse examiners, or SANE-certified nurses, can conduct forensic examinations to collect evidence.
