Rape Crisis volunteers are trained to provide you with emotional support and advocacy through medical, legal and law enforcement systems and courtroom procedures. A trained, objective counselor can help them to come to terms with what happened to you. Such help is available at both the Counseling Center and Rape Crisis. Acquaintance Rape Prevention Rape is not the victim's fault. It is not sex, it is violence.
Nobody asks for or deserves rape.
Victims do not cause rape. Rapists cause rape. Submission to a rapist out of fear is not consent and does not imply faflure on the part of the victim. Whenever a woman is forced, against her will, to submit to unwanted sexual relations, it is rape-and not a successful seduction by a lover, friend, neighbor, acquaintance, or stranger. Don't get trapped by these roles.
