Rape is a crime of humiliation and control, not sex. All sexual violence violates a person's trust and feeling of safety.
Sexual violence is NEVER the victim's fault, no matter when, where or how it happened. Most victims wonder if they made the right choices and question their decisions. Whatever action you took to save your life was the right thing to do.
What Should I Do First?
Rape is NEVER the victim's fault, no matter when, where or how it happened. No matter what you decide to do, you have done your very best.
