Sexual abuse can take on many different forms and sometimes we don’t know if what has happened to us constitutes sexual abuse or not. Any form of sexual contact that is unwanted or makes you feel uncomfortable, could be abuse.
You may be the victim of sexual abuse if you:
- Have been raped
- Have been a victim of attempted rape or indecent assault
- Have been forced to perform sexual acts you are uncomfortable with
- Experience on-going verbal abuse with name calling of a sexual nature such as bitch, whore, slut, etc
- Have been forced to watch pornography and/or act out the pornographic material
- Have been forced to have intercourse or perform sexual acts with friends, colleagues or strangers
