If you have been the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, harassment or stalking
it is not your fault​
.

The first step to prevention is understanding the facts.

​The Facts:


Sexual Assault

Every 92 seconds, somewhere in America, someone is being sexually assaulted. (RAINN)
  • ​Demographics of female sexual assault victims: 15% are under age 12; 44% are under 18; and 80% are under the age of 30. (U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics)
  • Almost 2/3 of rapes are completed by someone known to the victim. (RAINN)
  • Nationally 68% of rapes are not reported to police; 98% of rapists never spend a day in jail. (RAINN)
  • The effects of sexual abuse are long-lasting. Survivors are:
    • 3 times more likely to suffer from depression
    • 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide
    • 6 times more likely to suffer from PTSD
    • 13 times more likely to abuse alcohol
    • 26 times more likely to abuse drugs

Domestic Violence

  • On average, 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the US. This equates to 10 million women , men and children. (CDC)
  • ​In the past 20 years, 499 Wisconsinites have lost their lives to DV.
  • ​The most dangerous time for a victim of domestic violence is when the abuser thinks the victim is getting help and considering leaving. (CDC)
  • Continual exposure to domestic violence, combined with the fear and stress that such abuse provokes, can cause mental health issues for victims, along with  the physical injuries. (CDC)
  • Abuser tactics typically include telling the victim they can never do anything right, embarrassing or shaming the victim with put-downs & discouraging the victim from contacting friends and family. (CDC)​
  • In 2020, 69% of the clients we served were survivors of domestic violence
