Sexual violence is, broadly speaking, any sexual act to which a person did not agree to take part in. Sexual violence does not always include physical contact, and it can also occur online. Any sexual act to which you or your friend did not consent can then be considered sexual violence.
Remember! If anyone has made you or your friend feel uncomfortable and broken your/your friend’s boundaries, it’s important to speak up and tell a trusted adult who can help you find support.
