Research cited in the infographic showed that men from marginalized groups, such as gay and bisexual men, transgender men, men with disabilities, and multiracial men, reported elevated rates of sexual victimization. Since 2020, both nationally representative studies and state studies continue to show that sizeable percentages of men, especially marginalized populations of men, have endured sexual violence.

The perpetrator may be someone who is never seen again, or may be a person they must ride a train, bus, or taxi with regularly. No matter the circumstance, public transportation is a hot spot for victimization, which means it

The Department of Health and Human Services (the Department), through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), recently published new guidance on informed consent from patients in medical settings, with special emphasis on particularly sensitive procedures or those including anesthesia.
