What is Sexual Violence?

Sexual Violence is the use of sexual actions and words that are unwanted by and/or harmful to another person.

Some of these actions are defined as crimes by Minnesota statutes. Some experiences of sexual violence are hurtful violations of personal boundaries but may not rise to the level of a crime. However, that does not diminish the victim's experience of being harmed.
