We're all familiar with "No means, no," and "Yes, means, yes," yet it's not always so black and white in real-life situations. The term "sexual assault" means any nonconsensual sexual act proscribed by Federal, tribal, or State law, including when the victim lacks capacity to consent.Consent is an agreement between participants to engage in sexual activity. When you’re engaging in sexual activity, consent is about communication—and it should happen every time. The laws about consent vary by state and situation, but you don’t have to be a legal expert to understand how consent plays out in real life.RAINN - Sexual Assault HotlineCall 800.656.HOPE (4673) to be connected with a trained staff member from a sexual assault service provider in your area.How does it work? When you call 800.656.HOPE (4673), you’ll be routed to a local RAINN affiliate organization based on the first six digits of your phone number.
