Sexual
Assault
Awareness
  
What is
Sexual
Assault?
Sexual
assault
and
abuse is
any type
of
sexual
activity
that you
donot
agree
to,
including:
-
inappropriate
touching
-
vaginal,
anal,
or
oral
penetration
-
sexual
intercourse
that
you
say
no
to
-
rape
-
attempted
rape
-
child
molestation
Sexual
assault
can be
verbal,
visual,
or
anything
that
forces a
person
to join
in
unwanted
sexual
contact
or
attention.
Examples
of this
are
voyeurism
(when
someone
watches
private
sexual
acts),
exhibitionism
(when
someone
exposes
him/herself
in
public),
incest
(sexual
contact
between
family
members),
and
sexual
harassment.
It can
happen
in
different
situations,
by a
stranger
in an
isolated
place,
on a
date, or
in the
home by
someone
you
know.
Rape is
a common
form of
sexual
assault.
It is
committed
in many
situations
— on a
date, by
a friend
or an
acquaintance,
or when
you
think
you are
alone.
Educate
yourself
on “date
rape”
drugs.
They can
be
slipped
into a
drink
when a
victim
is not
looking.
Never
leave
your
drink
unattended
— no
matter
where
you are.
Try to
always
be aware
of your
surroundings.
Date
rape
drugs
make a
person
unable
to
resist
assault
and can
cause
memory
loss so
the
victim
doesn’t
know
what
happened.
