Help: If YOU Need To Speak

Q: What would you say to someone who has just been sexually assaulted?
A: The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network has the best resources around. It has advice for victims who were just assaulted, as well as advice for victims who were assaulted a while ago, and who are struggling to find the courage to speak up about what happened, and get the help they all deserve to heal from the rape.
