Sexual assault is any non-consensual sexual act or behavior, including rape, sexual coercion, and sexual harassment. It is a serious crime that can have severe physical, emotional, and psychological consequences for survivors.
Sexual assault can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. It is important to remember that survivors of sexual assault are never to blame for the abuse they have experienced, and that it is never their fault.
If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, it is important to seek help and support. This can include talking to a trusted friend or family member, seeking counseling or therapy, and contacting local authorities or organizations that provide support for survivors of sexual assault. It is also important to remember that it is never too late to seek help and that it is possible to heal and recover from the experience of sexual assault.
