Every Hour Matters: A Call for Post-Rape Care
Did you know that every hour matters if you or someone you know is raped?
Hundreds of millions of people—including many children—are subjected to sexual violence each year, yet very few survivors ever tell anyone about the experience or access health services or mental health support to help them heal. Many do not understand the importance of these services or the fact that, after a rape, every hour matters in preventing potentially lifelong health problems. This is an unacceptable reality we must all work together to change.
Why is rapidly accessing care so critical?
-
HIV can be prevented if survivors receive life-saving medication within 72 hours.
-
Emergency contraception can help prevent a pregnancy if accessed within 120 hours.
-
Medical help for physical trauma may be urgently needed depending on the situation.
