Sexual Assault Advocacy

Sexual assault advocacy involves supporting individuals who have experienced sexual violence. Advocates provide emotional support, help navigate medical and legal processes, and connect survivors with resources such as counseling and shelters. They work to empower survivors, ensuring their voices are heard and respected. Advocacy also includes educating communities about preventing sexual violence and promoting awareness. Advocates may work in organizations, hotlines, or hospitals, fostering a safe environment where survivors can seek help and healing, while also striving to change societal attitudes toward sexual assault.
