How to Prevent Sexual
Assault
Trust your feelings
Don’t allow room for misinterpretation when you say “No”
keep control of your environment
Use the buddy system
Never force anyone to have sex, even if it seems like they are“leading” you on
“No” means “NO”
Speak up if you are getting a double message from someone
Don’t assume that you know what the other person wants
REMEMBER:
RAPE = CONTROL &
POWER, NOT SEX!
