Sexual Violence
This is a catch-all term that describes any act of sex where the actor has not obtained consent from the other person(s). It can take many different forms, including:
Sexual harassment
Unwanted/non-consensual touching
Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex
Continued coercion after consent is withheld or revoked
Rape
It is important to remember that no matter where you are, what you’re wearing, or what substances you have consumed, it is NEVER your fault if someone sexual assaults you. If you have experienced sexual violence (recently or in the past), you can reach out the the PCA to discuss your options or get support.
