What if someone tries to rape you?

Use your head to protect your body. Calm down — play for time. Every situation is different — there are no easy answers.

  • Know yourself and your capabilities.

  • Assess the circumstances — look for an out.

  • Try to read the rapist — motivation, personality, what might work to get away.

And remember, once you use violence, there's no place to go but more violence.

 

What if you are assaulted?

  • Be a good witness — remember every detail you can.

  • Do not shower, bathe, douche, or throw any clothing away.

  • Call the police and a friend or your rape crisis center if you need additional support.

  • Seek medical attention and counseling.

  • Remember, it's not your fault.
