Prosecuting Sexual Violence against Men and Boys

This chapter is divided into three substantive parts: First, an overview of sexual violence against men and boys. The forms, prevalence and dynamics of male sexual violence are explored. The chapter then turns to international prosecutions. Second, it identifies the advances that have been made as a result of prosecutions, focusing on the substantive law, the procedural law and the prosecutions themselves. Although considerable progress has been made, much remains to be done. Accordingly, the existing limits on prosecutions are the subject of the last part.
