Steps to take if you have been assaulted:
1. Find a safe environment
Get yourself to your home, friend’s home, friend’s office…
2. Get medical attention immediately
Your options include:
- Grady Rape Crisis Center: for a medical and/or forensic exam
- Women’s Clinic in Stamps Health Services: for a medical exam and STI testing
A Victim-Survivor Advocate from VOICE can accompany you to any of these.
3. Preserve Evidence
You don’t have to report the crime to have an exam, but the exam allows you to have evidence collected and stored should you decide to report at a later time.
4. Consider Reporting
