English term or phrase: rape

I need the word for rape (sexual rape) in Portuguese, but I would like a word that is understood both by the Brazilians and the Portuguese.
I am not looking for a formal or legal term, just a term that can be understood by "not very educated" people.

Thank you

Mick Deacon

Para \"not very educated\", creio que violação será melhor entendido do que estupro, tanto em Portugal como no Brasil.

Estupro

Explanation:
No Brasil seria estupro - mas o significado é um pouco diferente em Portugal. Pelo pouco que sei, em Portugal estupro é mais parecido com statutory rape.
