Sexual Violence Awareness Week 2026

Every sector of society is affected by sexual abuse and sexual violence.

Women are disproportionately impacted, but people of all genders, all ages, all ethnicities, all sexualities and all abilities can be and are raped and sexually assaulted.

Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week is a chance to raise awareness of sexual abuse and violence and the impact it has on people’s lives.

• It’s a chance to signpost support and highlight the experience of victims and survivors.
• It’s a chance to reach out and try to change behaviour.
• It’s a chance to make a difference.
