Now, let's get into the Word Of God
In today’s Bible Study, we are going to study:
Helping Sexual Assault (Raped) Victims
Sexual assault can take many different forms, but one thing remains the same: it’s never the victim’s fault.
What is sexual assault?
The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim.
Some forms of sexual assault include:
Attempted rape
Fondling or unwanted sexual touching
Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex or penetrating the perpetrator’s body
Penetration of the victim’s body, also known as rape
What is rape?
Rape is a form of sexual assault, but not all sexual assault is rape.
The term rape is often used as a legal definition to specifically include sexual penetration without consent.
For its Uniform Crime Reports, the FBI defines rape as “penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”
To see how your state legally defines rape and other forms of sexual assault, visit RAINN's State Law Database.
What is force?
Force doesn’t always refer to physical pressure.
Perpetrators may use emotional coercion, psychological force, or manipulation to coerce a victim into non-consensual sex.
Some perpetrators will use threats to force a victim to comply, such as threatening to hurt the victim or their family or other intimidation tactics.
Who are the perpetrators?
The majority of perpetrators are someone known to the victim.
Approximately eight out of 10 sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim, such as in the case of intimate partner sexual violence or acquaintance rape.
Men are also Victims of Sexual Abuse even Celebrities!
At least 1 in 6 men have been sexually abused or assaulted.
Researchers have found that at least 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual abuse or assault, whether in childhood or as adults.
And this is probably a low estimate, since it doesn’t include non contact experiences, which can also have lasting negative effects.
If you’ve had such an experience, or think you might have, you are not alone.
What is therapy?
Psychotherapy, more commonly referred to as “therapy,” is an open, non-judgmental space to work through problems or challenges.
In therapy, you may learn new coping skills, ways to deal with your feelings, and strategies for managing stress.
You can also explore thoughts that you might not say out loud to a friend or family member.
