Rape is often described as unwanted, forced or non-consensual 'sex'. But sex and rape are two very different things. If there is no consent, then it's not sex, it's rape – no matter the circumstances.

If you think you or someone you know may be feeling scared, controlled, or intimidated by their partner or family member, this IS abuse.

If you want to talk to someone, you can speak to our friendly advisers, no pressure, and no judgement.
