<unk>  is a public health concern as well as violation of human rights. It has many forms which include rape,<unk>  assault,<unk>  coercion,<unk>  harassment,<unk>  exploitation, and<unk>  battery. It occurs without the consent of the victim or when the victim refuses or is unable to give a consent due to age, intoxication, illness or any other reasons. It is a common problem that may be seen in primary care. It is important for physicians to identify if a person has suffered from any type of<unk>  and take care of their safety. The evaluation and treatment of<unk>  assault victims are mostly limited to female and pediatric patients but a few of the guidelines are applicable to male victims as well.
