Sexual assault includes rape, attempted rape, and sexual harassment or threats. One in five women and one in sixteen men have been raped and almost half of women have experienced another type of sexual assault. If you have been sexually assaulted, it is not your fault.
If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, you have the right to know what options are available to you.

Dating violence is a type of intimate partner violence. It occurs between two people in a close relationship. The nature of dating violence can be physical, emotional, or sexual.
Physical—This occurs when a partner is pinched, hit, shoved, slapped, punched, or kicked.
Psychological/Emotional—This means threatening a partner or harming his or her sense of self-worth. Examples include name calling, shaming, bullying, embarrassing on purpose, or keeping him/her away from friends and family.
Dating violence can take place in person or electronically, such as repeated texting or posting sexual pictures of a partner online. Victims often think some behaviors, like teasing and name calling, are a “normal” part of a relationship. However, these behaviors can become abusive and develop into more serious forms of violence. Dating violence is a widespread issue that has serious long-term and short-term effects. Many victims do not report it because they are afraid to tell friends and family.

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner.
This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.
Even though some victims appeared satisfied with not reporting the incident, nearly one in three victims said, in hindsight, they wished they had sought help from the police or another professional service sooner than they did and 14 percent said they wished they had left the relationship earlier.
