Myths, prejudices and truths about sexual violence
Too often, common myths and prejudices sow doubt in our minds and trivialize sexual violence. You have the right to ask for help. Your experience and your feelings are important.
Forms of sexual violence
Sexual violence comes in many forms: the way someone touched you, a gesture made in front of you, something someone said to you, an email or text that you received or that was sent to others, an act you were forced into, etc. If any of those actions were of a sexual nature and done without your free and informed consent, they are acts of violence that violated your dignity.
