As kids, our parents taught us the importance of saying “please and thank you,” but as an adults, we’ve come to learn that the magic word is consent. By law, sexual harassment can include rape, attempted rape, sexual contact, exhibitionism, peeping, and threats.

There are a range of behaviors that fall under the umbrella of assault, and bringing awareness to the topic is only the beginning of putting an end to this problem.  

If you need support, The National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-656-4673. You will be connected with a trained staff member in your area. Or visit RAINN.org to chat online with a support specialist at any time.
