Helping Survivors is part of a growing movement of concerned citizens, survivors, and professionals working to ensure the right of every person to build a life free from the devastating consequences of sexual assault and abuse.
Sexual violence is sadly quite common in our society, and it affects people of all genders and ages. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over half of women and almost 1 in 3 men have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact during their lifetimes. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, sexual assault occurs every 73 seconds for adults and every nine minutes for children.
