Sexual Assault Survivors

Sexual assault survivors are individuals who have experienced unwanted sexual contact or behavior that they did not consent to. This experience can lead to physical, emotional, and psychological effects, such as trauma, anxiety, or difficulty trusting others. Survivors may respond differently, and recovery varies for each person. Recognizing their experience with empathy and respect is crucial. Support involves listening without judgment, believing their account, and providing access to resources like counseling or legal assistance. Understanding and compassion are essential in helping survivors heal and regain control over their lives.
