Sexual Assault can happen to anyone, including men.
Facts about Men and Rape:
- Men are usually raped by other men, although females can be perpetrators as well.
- Rapists who rape men are heterosexual in most cases.
- Both homosexual and heterosexual men from all parts of society can be raped (not just in prisons).
- Men are less likely to report rape.
Many men have the same feelings as female assault survivors including guilt, powerlessness, shock, anger, fear, and disappointment. They also have additional concerns about sexuality and/or masculinity, medical procedures, reporting to law enforcement, telling others, and finding support.
Haven is here to offer support for all survivors. We do not discriminate due to race, class, sexual identity or gender.
