Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week, 3rd February - 9th February 2020

By

Sexual abuse and/or sexual violence is sexual behaviour that you don’t want to do, don’t agree to do or don’t understand. Sexual abuse includes physical action and also activities where there’s no physical contact between you and the abuser. Sexual violence and abuse are crimes.
Unfortunately sexual abuse and violence can affect anyone.
The Crime Survey for England and Wales for the year ending March 2018 showed that police recorded 150,732 sexual offences, encompassing rape (53,977 cases) and sexual assault, and also sexual activity with children.
