The YWCA is one of the first referrals in cases of sexual assault. They have two important webpages people needing help should visit. The first is Surviving Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and the second is Resources for Survivors. Even if you don't need immediate assistance, these sites provide additional information to increase our understanding and perception.
