What exactly are we talking about?

Sexual violence is every intimate act committed against you and against your will. 

    For example:

  • Unwanted sexual contact with any part of your body, dressed or undressed;
  • Intentional sexual activity in your presence - masturbation or compulsion to masturbate;
  • Kisses on intimate places of the body, against your will;
  • Excessive proximity to your body;
  • Ignoring your sense of shame and insisting on dressing or undressing in front of someone else;
  • When an adult shares his intimate life with you;
  • An adult or parent insisting on sleeping together with you in the same bed;
  • When they show you pornographic material (photos, videos) against your will;
  • Making insults or mockery of a sexual nature;
  • Exposing parts of your body;
  • Indecent invitation to you and offer of “Entertainment”;
  • Forced sex through physical violence;
  • Mocking behavior related to your appearance or specific mockery related to your body;
  • Staring and using facial expressions that are unpleasant to you, hints of a sexual nature;
  • When an adult, no matter who he or she is, forces you to engage in sexual activity or encourages you to engage in sexual activity.
  • If you are forced to prostitute.
  • Behaviors of classmates at school, such as violent pinching, touchеs of the body that are not pleasant to you, the so-called. “Pressing” against your will, etc. 
  • Forcing you to share nude photos of yourself on the Internet, or to engage in sexual activities via Internet (chat or video);
  • Abuse or taking advantage of you while you are in helpless condition - after using alcohol or drugs, whether you have taken them of your own free will or otherwise.

    It is important to know that no one has the right to perform sexual acts against you without your consent!

   And to agree means that you really want just that and you don‘t agree because of some kind of coercion, because you are afraid or because you don‘t know how to refuse or stop the other person from doing any of these things.
