Sexual Assault Services

Sexual Assault can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Sexual Assault is not partial to one's income, race, background or beliefs - it is found among every type and denomination of people in the world. If you have experienced Sexual Assault, we can help.

Research about Intimate Partner Sexual Violence has indicated:

- 68% of physically abused women also reported sexual assault

- 79% of sexually assaulted women reported repeated episodes of forced sex

- 6% of sexually assaulted women contacted the police following the first sexual assault and 8% applied for a protection order

- Justice contact, either police or protection orders, was associated with up to a 70% reduction in the risk of re-assault

- Not contacting the police after the first sexual assault doubled a woman's risk of re-assault and not applying for a protection order tripled her re-assault risk

- Abuse victims who are also sexually assaulted have higher rates of severe injury and being killed than victims of physical violence alone
