Dedicated Legal Advocacy for Him
You Deserve to Be Heard
Sexual assault can happen to anyone, including men and boys. If you are reading this, please know that you are not alone and what happened is not your fault. Many male survivors carry feelings of silence, shame, or self-doubt, but reaching for support is an act of courage and strength.
Breaking the Silence
Society often discourages men from speaking about trauma, reinforcing harmful ideas about masculinity and strength. These barriers can make it harder to seek help or even name what happened. Choosing to share your story is not weakness, it is an act of reclaiming your power.
The Impact on Men and Boys
The effects of sexual assault on male survivors can be complex. Many struggle with trust, relationships, or questions around identity and masculinity. Common trauma responses include anger, withdrawal, depression, and post-traumatic stress. These reactions are normal responses to trauma and do not diminish your worth.
The Reality in Numbers
- 1 in 6 men will experience sexual assault in their lifetime. (1in6.org)
- 1 in 5 boys are sexually assaulted before age 18. (NSVRC Factsheet)
- Nearly 1 in 10 rape victims are male. (See “Statistics In-Depth”)
- Most male survivors know their perpetrator. (NSVRC)
- Male survivors are less likely to report due to fear of stigma or disbelief. (NSVRC On Male Socialization & Underreporting)
These numbers underscore why male survivors’ voices must be believed and supported.
