Sexual Assault Resources
85% of women that are attacked are attacked by people they know. Street and stranger rapes are the minority of our experiences. The work we are trying to do with NYC-safestreets.org is to raise awareness and empower us as we travel in the city.
We recognize wide spread sexual abuse and assault in our communities. If you are a victim of sexual abuse, assault or rape, the following resources may be helpful to you:
- The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN)
- The New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault
- Safe Horizon
- National Institute of Mental Health on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- V-Day
- The Clothesline Project
- 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence
- Barnard College: NYC Guide to Women's and Social Justice Campaigns
- Right Rides NY
- The Street Harassment Project
Phone numbers:
- NYPD Sexual Assault Hotline 212-227-3000
- Brooklyn (sex crimes bureau) 718-250-3170
