Sexual violence means any sexual activity or act that happened without consent.
It can include rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, and sexual harassment. Other types include indecent exposure and cyber flashing and sexual exploitation.
This is not a complete list. It’s okay to be confused and you don’t have to have all the words yet. If something sexual happened to you that didn’t feel right or good, we are here to support you.
If you are in an a school or education setting, youth worker, safeguarding lead, or teacher, we can also offer a series of workshops to help support and work alongside your relationship and sex education programmes (RSE).
Research shows that there is a need for prevention education amongst our young people.
Young people are experiencing more forms of sexual violence more especially with the introduction of social media and mobile technology. Our ARCH-ED prevention programme has been developed for settings that engage with children and young people.
