Rape is very traumatic and when it happens, many women don't know what to do.

If you have been raped:

• Tell someone you trust
• Call the police immediately
• Go to the hospital or a doctor
• Call for support of a rape crisis worker

DO NOT

• Wash, shower, douche, urinate or defecate (if possible).
• Change your clothes or anything about the scene where the crime took place.
• Eat, drink, or smoke.

You could destroy evidence which may be needed later.

RAPE IS UNLAWFUL SEXUAL INTERCOURSE.
WOMEN DO NOT ASK FOR RAPE. NO ONE DOES.
RAPE IS NOT A SEXUAL ACT, IT IS AN ACT OF VIOLENCE.
