Sexual violence can affect anyone, and many people have been impacted by it in some way. As a community, it’s important that we continue to have open conversations and raise awareness.
We stand together in support, compassion, and commitment to change. 🤍

Consent must be freely given, informed and reversible.
Understanding consent is essential for HCPs supporting survivors and documenting care accurately in both custody and SARC settings.

Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) provide specialist, trauma-informed care, forensic exams, and access to ongoing support — with or without police involvement.
Knowing how to refer matters.

Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week is about challenging myths, breaking stigma and supporting survivors.
HCPs in SARCs and custody play a vital role in recognising harm, listening and safeguarding.

Some survivors experience flashbacks during sex. If you can speak to your partner about your experience of sexual violence, it may allow you to explain your flashbacks and agree in advance what you want to do if this happens. If you are struggling with flashbacks during sex, it is okay to take time out from the sexual side of your relationship. Your partner should respect your choice and support you.
If you are not able to, or don’t want to disclose your experience with your partner, you may find it helpful to establish boundaries within your intimate relationship and highlight what you are and are not comfortable with. Your partner may ask questions about this but remember, you do not have to disclose your experience if you are not comfortable doing so.
For some survivors of sexual violence, sex can trigger flashbacks. Read more about the impacts of sexual violence on #relationships on our blog: buff.ly/EnrJgH6
