What is Sexual Harassment?
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:
Consider using the app Circle of 6 to quickly send a help message and GPS location to 6 of your contacts.

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?
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.
Online Safety Tips:
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.
