You do not deserve to be victimized, for any reason. If you are experiencing violence or abuse, even if its from a loved one or your sexual partner, you should get help to protect yourself.
How do I get help?
Dealing with violence is something you don’t have to deal with on your own.
- Remember that you do not have to be ashamed that this is happening to. You can share with a friend or trusted family member.
- Seek input from organizations who can help show you your options and educate you about what you can do.
- If you have been sexually assaulted, try and seek PEP within 72 hours so that you can potentially prevent HIV transmission.
