Due to the narrow socially constructed definition of rape, however, many survivors of this crime find that their experiences do not fit the inaccurate stereotypical definitions. Because social myths are so pervasive, the Sexual Assault Network educators and advocates want women and men to be aware of the accurate definition of sexual assault. If you believe that you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted and want to talk to an understanding, confidential and knowledgeable person, please call the Sexual Assault Network hotline at 552-BC11. Or, if you are interested in learning more about the Sexual Assault Network or would like more information on the issue of sexual assault, please call the Peer Education Network at 552-0218 and speak with a Sexual Assault Peer Educator.
