The term survivor is used on our website to describe anyone who has experienced any unwanted act of a sexual nature. We understand that this term may not reflect everyone's experience and not everyone who has experienced an unwanted act of a sexual nature will identify with this term.
We are here to help you, whether the incident occurred recently or not, and we will honour your individual healing process. Here is how we can help you:
