I recently read a book that had a woman offhandedly mention a sexual assault she had experienced and write off the situation- it wasn’t that bad, it was that violent. The male character (who was in a position of authority) pushed back, responded with compassion and outrage.
It wasn’t even a major part of the book, but something about it hit me so hard.
So I’m looking for a book recommendation where a male character cares that a woman has been raped… especially if nobody else seems to care AND if the man is in a position of authority and is able to actually take her seriously or respond well.

Hmmm off top of my head:
*The Pact by Jodie Piccoult
*Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
*The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith
*Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E. K. Johnston
*All the Rage by Courtney Summers
