At least 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual abuse or assault. 

We expect that male sexual violence is under reported is because of the shame and stigma attached to the assault.  This statistic, “Only 16% of men with documented histories of sexual abuse considered themselves to have been sexually abused.' speaks volumes.

If you or someone you know are a victim or survivor of assault please call the 24-Hour Crisis Hotline: 1-800-656-4673 (HOPE).
