ICASDV Trainings :: Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is any behavior or contact of a sexual nature that is unwanted or makes a person uncomfortable. Sexual assault occurs any time a person is forced, coerced, and/or manipulated into any unwanted sexual activity.
People of all ages, all economic classes, all races and all levels of education are victimized. Sexual violence is a deliberate action used to make another person feel helpless, humiliated and degraded, and in turn, make the perpetrator feel powerful.
As a result of this education module, participants will be better able to:
• Identify the prevalence of sexual assault
• Discuss rape culture and its effects on survivors and society
• Create and discuss a sexual assault continuum
• Discuss the physical effects of sexual assault
• Identify possible behavioral changes that survivors may experience following a sexual assault
• Discuss the psychological effects of sexual assault
• Determine an advocate’s role and responsibilities in working with sexual assault survivors
