Sexual Violence is a Human Issue

Forcing or pressuring someone to engage in sexual contact is a crime. Nothing--not a previous relationship, excessive use of alcohol, previous sexual involvement, the way in which someone is dressed, or incapacitation due to drugs--gives one person the right to coerce or force another person into sexual contact. No one wants to be victimized or assaulted.
