Sexual Violence Affects Individuals Across All Communities

Sexual violence can affect people of all ages, genders, identities, cultures, and backgrounds. It can occur in many forms, including experiences that happen online or through technology. At the Rape Crisis Center, we are committed to providing compassionate, inclusive, and survivor-centered support to all individuals impacted by sexual violence.

Women
Sexual violence affects many women throughout their lives. Nearly half of women in the United States have experienced some form of contact sexual violence. These experiences can have lasting effects on physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Every survivor’s experience is unique, and healing looks different for each person.

Men
Men are also impacted by sexual violence, although their experiences are often less visible and may be underreported. Survivors of all genders deserve access to support, validation, and resources that promote healing and recovery.

Children and Youth
Sexual violence can occur at any stage of life, including childhood and adolescence. Experiences of abuse or exploitation during these formative years can affect a person’s sense of safety, trust, relationships, and well-being. Early support and trauma-informed care can play an important role in healing.

Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence
Technology can be used to cause harm through behaviors such as the nonconsensual sharing of intimate images, online harassment, unwanted sexually explicit communications, and other forms of digital abuse. These experiences can be just as impactful as those that occur in person and deserve the same level of care, support, and recognition.

You Are Not Alone
No matter when the violence occurred or what form it took, support is available. The Rape Crisis Center provides a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where survivors can access services, explore their options, and move forward at their own pace.
