16. This occurs when someone is made to feel humiliated, unsafe, or inferior because of their sex or gender. This is
different from street harassment because the person is not only harassed but made to feel less than someone of another sex
or gender.
17. Quid pro quo is a type of sexual harassment that occurs on a “this for that” basis. For example, it may be offering a
promotion in turn for a sexual favor or denying a promotion if one refuses the sexual activity.
18. One or more acts of nonconsensual oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by a body part or object.
19. Sexual assault is any sexual contact that occurs without informed consent from at least one personal involved. Rape is
a type of sexual assault, but not the only kind. Sexual assault is often not motivated by sex but is about violence and
control.
20. The most common form of violence committed against women in the United States, intimate partner violence includes
physical, mental, emotional, verbal, or economic power used by one partner against the other partner in a romantic
relationship. Although men are the primary perpetrators and women are the primary victims of this form of violence,
research suggests that gender is a more important factor than sex; both men and women who abuse their partners have
strong masculine tendencies.
21. Forced prostitution
22. Holding a person responsible for the harm that another person has inflicted. Part of rape culture, one aspect of this is
when women are raped because of how they’re dressed, behaving, or where they’re going.
23. Depicts consensual activities that are desired by and pleasurable to all parties.
24. A practice found in South Africa, “corrective rape” involves raping lesbians to punish them for being lesbian and to
“correct” their behaviors. Lesbian athletes are often the target of this violent crime, which usually involves severe beating
in addition to sexual assault. The intention of “corrective” rapists is to teach lesbians to stop acting like men and want sex
with men.
25. Female circumcision, practiced primarily in African countries.
26. A pattern of unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with a person’s ability to do a job or get an
education and/or that creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive working environment because of sexualized conduct.
The law insists on criteria of “reasonableness” (sometimes adhering to the “reasonable woman” standard) in determining
sexual harassment cases.
27. The killing of women, which may also include female fetuses. This often takes place in countries that highly
discriminate against women and is often justified as normal or appropriate in those countries.
28. The entire clitoris and parts of the labiaminora are removed.
29. The removal of the sheath, or prepuce, of the penis.
30. Agreement given by:
∙ Someone of legal age
