If you are a survivor of sexual assault, we invite you to go to the Survivors' Site to sign our Survivors' Guestbook. A plaque be added in your name. Short of murder, sexual assault is the ultimate violation of one's physical person. Victims are often not believed.
Sexual assault is a perversion of the most intimate of physical acts.
What was once perceived as an act of love by the victim, has now become an act of violence. Assaults include any type of unwanted sexual activity forced on one person by another either overtly or in a subtle, coercive manner. Perpetrators most often use threats of physical harm through physical force or the use of a weapon. The fear of death or severe bodily harm may have prompted you to cooperate with the assailant. This does not in any way mean that you have consented to the assault.
