It is a severe public health problem in the United States that profoundly impacts lifelong health, opportunity, and well-being.

Sexual violence impacts every community and affects people of all genders, sexual orientations, and ages. Anyone can experience or perpetrate sexual violence. The perpetrator of sexual violence is usually someone the survivor knows, such as a friend, current or former intimate partner, coworker, neighbor, or family member. Sexual violence can occur in person, online, or through technology, such as posting or sharing sexual pictures of someone without their consent or non-consensual sexting. One of the most shocking facts about sexual assault is that approximately only 5% of sexual assault reports filed have been proven false. 82% of all juvenile sexual assault victims are female. 90% of adult rape victims are female. 41% of sexual assaults against Native Indians are committed by a stranger.
