Support, Information & Referral Services for Male Survivors of Sexual Assault & their Supporters

1 in 6 men are sexually assaulted by the age of 16 years.

Sexual assault is any unwanted sexual act where someone is forced, coerced, tricked, or threatened to participate in sexual activity by  another person.

The offender is usually male, and usually someone you know and sometimes someone you trust – a family member, relative, friend, colleague or acquaintance.

Every survivor deals with sexual assault in their own way, but you don’t have to do it alone.
