Understanding the Facts

	84% of rape victims know their attackers. The rapist may be a relative, friend, co-worker, date or other acquaintance.
	In the United States, 1.3 women are raped every minute.
	One out of every eight men will be sexually assaulted in his lifetime.
	Experts estimate that as many as 90% of all rapes are never reported.

If you or someone you know has been raped:

	You are not to blame for what has happened to you regardless of the circumstances.
	Go to a safe place and dial 911.
	Do not bathe/shower, brush teeth, use the restroom, change clothes, smoke or drink if at all possible.
	Bring identification and a change of clothing with you to the Center if possible.

Why seek treatment:

	To be sure you are okay.
	To be examined by a sexual assault nurse examiner with experience in collecting evidence and photographing injuries.
	To protect yourself against sexually transmitted diseases and receive education about possible pregnancy.
	To collect evidence of the sexual assault.
