What Should I do if it happens to me?

  • Go to a safe place.
  • Call someone you trust for support.
  • Call the 24-hour hotline 202-333-RAPE (7273)
  • You can also:
    • Get counseling. The DC Rape Crisis Center offers free counseling for teens. You don’t need your parents’ permission. Call the Center at 202-232-0789 for appointments.
    • Report to the police. Even if you don’t want to press charges, this may help you feel empowered. You might also save someone else.
