Only girls are assaulted. 1 in 3 young women and 1 in five young men will be sexually assaulted before they turn 18 years old. It's your own fault if you are assaulted or abused. The responsibility for the assault lies with the person who did the assaulting. Sexual assault happens because a person loses control because of sexual need.
Sexual assault is a crime where sex is being used as a weapon to humiliate and hurt someone else.
The way to help a person you love who is hurting you is to stay with them and try to convince them to stop hurting you or to be so good that they don't have a reason to hurt you. No matter how worried, jealous, or angry someone is, they have no right to hurt you. They have no right to use physical violence to express their feelings. Everyone has the right to be safe. If you or someone you know is being beaten, get help.
