What is Sexual Violence?

Sexual violence impacts every community and affects people of all genders,
sexual orientations, and ages. Anyone can experience or perpetrate sexual violence. Any
sexual act or attempt to receive a sexual act, or undesirable sexual comments or acts to
traffic, directed against a person's sexuality using pressure by anyone, regardless of their
relationship to the victim, in any setting, including at work and home, is considered sexual
violence.
Sexual Violence is a serious public health problem that affects millions of
people each year. SexualV involves a range of acts including attempted or
completed forced or alcohol/drug facilitated penetration (i.e., rape), being made

unwanted penetration (i.e., sexual coercion), unwanted sexual contact (e.g.,
fondling), and non-contact unwanted sexual experiences (e.g., verbal
