Do you know of any art about rape or sexual abuse?

Question

My art project is about gangs and im looking at how some gangs use rape as a form of initiation into the gang. I have to relate each section to an artist/art movement. are there any that focus on this?

Clockwork Orange.

It's a Psychological film. A film is artistic.

Based on the book by Anthony Burgess, was made in 1971 and stars Malcolm McDowell as Alex DeLarge, a young troublemaker and delinquent. McDowell and his gang of three friends engage in various crimes and shenanigans, such as fighting, vandalism, skipping school, and the like.

One night, they steal a car and go for a joy ride. They commit a honorific home invasion, raping a woman and brutally beating her husband. McDowell gets caught.

Try going on the website Deviant art, there is a lot of art about anything you might need, but remember the copyright add the name of the artist by the picture if you use it. =]

the typical classical motiff involving this is the rape of persephone (various spellings)
heres an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rape_of_Proserpina
its obviously very different from the sort of thing you are speaking about...but its what would come to mind first from most art history gurus.
