Preventing Sexual Assault

Sexual assault in any form, including acquaintance rape, violates Utah law and will not be tolerated.

The University of Utah has established:

Procedures to respond to violations of these laws,
Programs aimed at the prevention of such conduct, and
Medical and counseling resources to help assault victims.

Education

PEER (Peers Educating to End Rape), Women's Resource Center (581-8030), ADEC (Alcohol and Drug Education Center 581-7776), Athletics (581-8171), and Health Education (581-6431) have programs to assist in the prevention of sexual assault through education.

If You Are a Victim

Many victims of sexual assault don't know where to turn for help or what to do after an assault. They may be ashamed to talk to anyone or they may try to act as if nothing has happened. The following steps should serve as a guide.

Call the campus police at 585-COPS (2677) or Salt Lake Rape Recovery Center (467-7273) or 911
Call a close friend or relative for support and assistance
Do not douche, bathe, or change clothes until you have talked with the police. You may destroy valuable evidence needed by the police.

Medical Advice

A person who is raped needs medical attention. The best judge of injuries is a doctor. Even the least violent attack can leave the victim exposed to venereal disease or pregnancy. Even if you don't intend to report the rape, it's still important to be examined for your own safety and in case you change your mind. DO NOT WAIT - this needs to be done immediately.
