NEED TO KNOW
Sexual violence or assault includes any un-wanted or un-warranted
advances on the victim. Promote healthy relationships and be
aware of surroundings.
If you or someone you know has been a victim reach out and get
help. Talk to a teacher, friend, parent or trusted adult. It is not the
victims fault. You can say NO! It is your body!
