Transgender Victims of Rape

There are very few statistics available for the rate of rape among transgender individuals.  One small study showed that 13.7% of transgender respondents had experienced rape or attempted rape.  Another study shows that 50% of transgender respondents had been raped or assaulted by a romantic partner — and among all groups of people sexual violence is a common form of intimate partner violence.
