You deserve care whether or not you report, and whether or not you know what to call what happened. Start with support that fits your location and needs.
Use your local emergency service: 911 in the U.S. and Canada; 999 or 112 in the UK. For emotional-crisis support, see the region-specific services below.

If possible, reach someone you trust. You can ask an advocate to help you think through immediate safety without deciding on a formal report.
An emergency department or sexual-assault service can explain injury care, forensic examinations and time-sensitive options. Evidence collection windows vary. Care may still be available if you changed clothes, showered or waited.
Check who is confidential, who must report, what records are created, and whether costs or consent rules apply. You can ask these questions before giving identifying information.
Keep original messages or other records if safe to do so. An advocate can explain options; nothing on this page requires you to collect evidence or report.
Believe that the person deserves support. Avoid pressing for details or making choices for them.
Ask “What would feel helpful right now?” Offer practical choices such as company, transport or help finding an advocate. Respect a decision not to report. Do not contact an accused person or post someone’s experience online.
Ask services about disability access, interpreters, LGBTQ+ affirming care, culturally specific support and support for men and boys. RAINN and local advocates can help identify an appropriate service.
Ask CSU SAFE Center advocacy about academic support, housing or safety accommodations and the difference between a confidential advocate and a formal reporting office.
