What is this leaflet about?
This leaflet is about where to get support if you have recently been raped or sexually assaulted.
Rape is when someone has sex with you when you do not want to have sex. Or someone having sex with you when you are not able to tell them to stop is also rape.
Someone trying to have sex with you when you do not want to or when they are aware you are not able to tell them to stop, is attempted rape.
Sexual assault is when someone touches your body in a sexual way when you do not want them to.
Rape and sexual assault are against the law. If it has happened to you, you have done nothing wrong. It is not your fault. You should tell someone that you trust.
