EspañolWhere can I find information for male victims of sexual assault?
The majority of sexual assaults are perpetrated against women, but 1 out of every 10 men is a victim of sexual assault. People are often reluctant to view men as victims of sexual assault, so men often have a difficult time accepting their own victimization and delay seeking help and support.
All of the information on this page and other pages of this website are relevant for men as well as women. However, because there are often particular issues that men face, you might want to view the links below which provide information specifically about male sexual assault and about the barriers male survivors often face:
- Brown University, Male Survivors.
- RAINN, Sexual Assault of Men and Boys
Where can I find other information about sexual assault?
Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) has information about sexual violence in general and what to consider after a sexual assault.
To read about how the military handles sexual assault, check out this fact sheet from the Department of Defense.
Where can I read stories from other victims who are healing from sexual assault?
