  • Sexual assault includes violations such as sexual harassment, unwanted touching of intimate parts, and rape. These violations are not motivated by sexual desire. Sexual assault is a crime of power and control.
  • Sexual assault can happen to anyone, female or male. Sexual assault can be perpetrated by anyone, female or male.
  • A survivor of sexual assault is never to blame for the assault.
  • You did whatever you needed to do to survive, that is what is important.
