Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is any sexual activity that occurs without clear, informed, and voluntary consent. This includes unwanted touching, kissing, grabbing, rape, or any other form of sexual contact. It may involve force, pressure, coercion, manipulation, or the use of alcohol or drugs to increase a person’s vulnerability.

Sexual assault is never the survivor’s fault. It can occur in any type of relationship — including dating or marriage — and lack of consent still makes it sexual assault.

It affects people of all ages, genders, races, religions, abilities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. Sexual assault does not discriminate.

The trauma caused by sexual assault has no set timeline. Healing looks different for everyone. Support is available — whether the assault happened recently or years ago. If you’re struggling, counseling and emotional support services can help you move forward.
