While trafficked persons often experience sexual violence on a repeated basis, they are not the only ones affected.  Just look at these statistics published by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center:

While April was 2018 Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the need to be vigilant is with us every month of the year.  If you know of someone being abused, see what you can do to help.

NSVRC maintains a Directory of State and Territory Coalitions, as well as a Directory of Victim/Survivor Support Organizations that provide services to survivors. Please contact your state or territory’s coalition to find local resources.

The Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network (RAINN), organizes the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline. The Hotline is a referral service that can put you in contact with your local rape crisis center. You can call the Hotline at 1-800-656-4673, or access RAINN’s online chat service.

Don’t hesitate – get this information to someone who might benefit from it a.s.a.p.  If you don’t – who will?
