Sexual Misconduct and Title IX

If You Have Experienced Physical or Sexual Violence


Your safety is the number one priority. If you have experienced physical or sexual violence, 去一个安全的地方,立即寻求能够帮助你的人的支持. You are not alone. Many people can provide medical and emotional support, 不管你是选择纪律处分还是刑事诉讼. 

记住,无论在什么情况下,都不能怪你. Nothing you have done (dress the way you wanted to, drink too much, have sex with the same person before, etc.)证明某人对你进行性侵犯或身体侵犯. 性暴力发生在所有性别、身份和性取向的人身上.

The following are suggested steps to take after an incident

Seeking Medical Care

It is important to get care as soon as possible. Even if you feel okay, a sexual assault could expose you to a risk of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and physical trauma, 因此,即使你不希望收集证据,接受医生的检查也很重要. In addition to receiving medical attention, 如果你选择这样做,临床医生可以帮助你收集法医证据. You do not need to file a report to receive medical services.

The SANE conducts medical forensic examinations, can provide medications and treatment, can preserve biological evidence for a later date, and can serve as an expert witness in a court of law. The SANE program may contact the police, but patients can choose whether or not to talk to the police.

在120小时内收集的证据保留了您在以后决定个人是否希望向大学或警方报案的权利. 

It is important to know  

  • 在性侵犯护士审查员的检查中,伤情将被评估和治疗. SANE还将讨论可能接触性传播感染的治疗方案, offer HIV post-exposure prophylaxis, 和/或讨论关于紧急避孕的选择(更多信息在本页底部),以防止怀孕. 
  • If you are able, 在寻求医疗护理之前,尽量避免扰乱或丢弃可能含有攻击者DNA的证据. Do not urinate or defecate; shower, bathe, or douche; brush your teeth or gargle; brush your hair; or throw away clothes worn during the attack. 在经历了创伤之后,采取这些步骤可能非常困难,但如果你决定报案,这样做将有助于保存潜在的证据. 即使你做了这些活动中的一项,你仍然可以参加考试, such as showering. 当你去医院或健康机构做检查时,你可能想要带一套换洗的衣服.

Seeking Emotional Support

Whether or not an incident requires medical attention, you may want to seek emotional support as you cope and recover. There is no right or wrong response to an assault. Everyone reacts differently. Some people may experience a strong immediate response, 而另一些人似乎立即就能正常工作,但在事件发生后很长时间才会有反应. It is not unusual to experience depression, anxiety, fear, difficulty trusting others, and self-harming behaviors, as well as many other emotions.
