Know the Statistics:
According to RAINN (see: rainn.org)
1 in 6 women will experience sexual assault in their lifetime. 1 in 10 sexual assault victims are male. 70% of victims experience moderate to severe distress - a larger percentage than any other violent crime. |
Sexual assault is a traumatic, life-altering experience. Often, it leaves an individual with lasting mental health issues, and changes in their personality and interactions with others. Unfortunately, all too frequently, these people are unable to get the help that they need or deserve.
This blog is for all of those without a voice, and I hope to someday open it so they can have one. |
