Contact your local Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevent office to learn about sexual assaults. In addition to local resources; the Department of Defense Safe Helpline offers a variety of options. They can be reached by phone at 877-995-5247, on-line at safehelpline.org, by text message at 55-247, and the self-care app for iOS and android devices.

Sexual assault doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t discriminate by gender, age, ethnicity or religious affiliation. Sexual assault can happen to anyone. It’s considered to be an unthinkable, heartbreaking act that can never truly be prepared for. Sexual assault is defined as intentional sexual contact characterized by use of force, physical threat, intimidation, abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent. It includes rape, forcible sodomy and unwanted sexual contact or attempts to commit these acts.
