Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Sexual assault can be prevented by staying alert and by using your senses. However, sexual assault often occurs with drugs and alcohol on a date or at parties. Additionally, sexual assault happens when a person is forced to do a sex act without consent. Sexual assault can occur any time of the day and has risen throughout the years. Usually, a person who is assaulted is by someone they know such as a boyfriend, girlfriend, or acquaintance.
Sometimes, a person is being stalked before being assaulted. Therefore, to prevent sexual assault it is best to be cautious at all times. Make a safe plan to get to your work and home. As well as a safety plan to leave your work and home. Change your schedule often including the time to get home or to work.
Do not make your schedule so predictable especially if you are being stalked. Memorize the telephone numbers of your emergency contacts. Carry some cash with you including coins. If you feel uncomfortable during a date, have a friend call you. Make an escape call and leave the area safely.
Know your boundaries when someone sexually touches you. Always keep an extra key for your home and car. Memorize the addresses of your emergency contacts. If you are sexually assaulted know you are not negligent. Here are more resources for sexual assault prevention.
