“People Don’t Lie About Being Sexually Assaulted.”
Whenever a person experiences sexual assault, the idea that they will not be believed often acts as a deterrent to seeking help. Additionally, victim or survivors of sexual assault are also often blamed for what has happened to them. Because of this, and other factors, people who have been sexually assaulted report less often and do not get the help they need at a time when they need it most.
If you are a survivor of sexual violence and need assistance please contact your local rape crisis center (in Pennsylvania) by calling 1-888-772-7227 or you can get more information about the programs in your area here.
