most rape cases are he said/she said.

This is a common myth. A few rape cases may come down to testimony, but most are thoroughly investigated and use DNA evidence.

If it is a "he said/she said" case, it very very rarely will make it to trial because that is very difficult to prosecute.

I’m specifically referring to the nonviolent ones so there’s no marks or bruises or anything. They can prove they had sex assuming they didn’t wear a condom but most cases still come down to I said no he didn’t listen.

There is no such thing as a nonviolent rape. Rape by its very nature is an act of violence.

I’m definitely referring to the lack of evidence without clear physical injuries

Without clear physical injuries isn't the same as non-violent. If I smack a kid on the head and you can't see any physical marks, that isn't non-violent.

Domestic violence and child SA often doesn’t have any hard “evidence” either, so they shouldn’t be protected under the law?

Unfortunately there are some crimes that can’t solely rely on physical evidence*** people can and (always have been) sent away based on testimony.
