Sex and Violence

Sex and violence are common occurrences in the media and with the available exposure kids have to media, their behavior, perceptions and personalities can be easily influenced and distorted.
Sexual violence means that someone forces or manipulates someone else into unwanted sexual activity without their consent. Reasons someone might not consent include fear, age, illness, disability, and/or influence of alcohol or other drugs. Anyone can experience sexual violence including: children, teens, adults, and elders. Those who sexually abuse can be acquaintances, family members, trusted individuals or strangers.
