What is Sexual Abuse?

Sexual abuse refers to any action that pressures or coerces someone to do something sexually they don’t want to do.

It can also refer to behavior that impacts a person’s ability to control their sexual activity or the circumstances in which sexual activity occurs, including oral sex, rape or restricting access to birth control and condoms.

Some examples of sexual assault and abuse are:

  • Unwanted kissing or touching.
  • Unwanted rough or violent sexual activity.
  • Rape or attempted rape.
  • Refusing to use condoms or restricting someone’s access to birth control.
  • Keeping someone from protecting themselves from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • Sexual contact with someone who is very drunk, drugged, unconscious or otherwise unable to give a clear and informed “yes” or “no.”
  • Threatening or pressuring someone into unwanted sexual activity.

...Because your Safety is important!

Why are we talking about this??

How To Protect Yourself and Others From Sexual Abuse

If someone is pressuring you by using guilt or intimidation, it can be scary or make you feel unsure of your decision. That person is responsible for his/her choices and actions. If you find yourself in that situation, there might be ways that you can protect yourself and try to safely get away from that person.

For example, if someone is pressuring you and you feel that your safety is threatened, it’s okay to lie in order to exit the situation. Saying that you need to take care of something at home, that you don’t feel good or that you need to go to the bathroom may give you the opportunity to get away and find help.

If there are other people around, how would you communicate with them that you need help?

  • Can you yell out or bang on the walls?
  • Is there another door that you can leave through?

Most importantly though, if those things don’t work and something does happen to you, IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.

What if you’re out with friends and you witness something that makes you feel uncomfortable? What are some things you can do to keep yourself and your friend safe? Basically, if you feel that your safety isn't going to be at risk, you can step in.

  • Cause a distraction to interrupt the situation.
  • Start talking to the person that you feel is unsafe.
  • Ask if s/he wants to leave to go get something to eat.
  • Say that you’re bored and want to leave may help him/her get out of an uncomfortable situation.
  • If you’re at a party, draw other people into the conversation or start an activity that will engage others around the person.
  • If the opportunity presents itself, you can also ask outright if the person is alone and would like you to keep him/her company.
  • If you feel that interrupting will escalate the situation, you can find a neutral third party or authority figure that will help you intervene.

Online Safety Tips:

  • Avoid communicating directly or sharing personal information with people you do not know and trust.
  • Be mindful of location tagging and identifying landmarks when posting online and sending messages.
  • Avoid posting your address or phone number publicly, as well as your place of employment and other regularly frequented locations.
  • Limit your profile privacy settings to only family, friends and close acquaintances, as well as limiting who can send you private messages.

Personal Safety:

Consent- it matters!

If you have been sexually assaulted or abused, first get to a safe place away from the attacker. You may be scared, angry and confused, but remember the abuse was in no way your fault.

You have options.

You can:

Report What Happened to the Police. If you do decide to report what happened, you will have a stronger case if you do not alter or destroy any evidence. This means don’t shower, wash your hair or body, comb your hair or change your clothes, even if that is hard to do. If you are nervous about going to the police station, it may help to bring a friend with you. There may also be sexual assault advocates in your area who can assist you and answer your questions.

Contact Someone You Trust. Many people feel fear, guilt, anger, shame and/or shock after they have been sexually assaulted. Having someone there to support you as you deal with these emotions can make a big difference. It may be helpful to speak with a counselor, someone at a sexual assault hotline or a support group

What if I need help?

Go to an Emergency Room or Health Clinic. It is very important for you to seek health care as soon as you can after being assaulted. You will be treated for any injuries and offered medications to help prevent pregnancy and STIs.

Remember there is always help.
