Who rapes a woman?

Who rapes a woman?
Most often the rapist is someone the woman knows. A woman can be raped in a number of situations:
• by a man whom she knows, such as an uncle or a neighbour or
someone she works with;
• by her boyfriend (this is sometimes called ‘date rape’);
• by her husband (in many societies, having sex is considered a
duty of a wife, but if she does not want sex and it is forced on her,
it is sexual violence);
• by the police or soldiers (this happens especially when women
are captured by soldiers or are police suspects for an offence –
it is particularly terrifying because the woman is being raped
by people who should be protecting her);
• by a complete stranger (this may happen on the streets on in
the woman’s house).
