Join Christina Ricci, RAINN's National Spokesperson, in the fight against sexual assault.

"In preparing for my role in Black Snake Moan, I was shocked to learn that someone is sexually assaulted every two minutes in this country. "We must shed light on this tragedy, and encourage sexual assault victims to get help through RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline. Rape is the most traumatic experience anyone can survive and I want to help."

---Christina Ricci

Students at more than 700 college campuses across the country participated in RAINN Day 2007, helping raise awareness for both men and women & reaching more than 1 million students

Mimmy Kitty Melody	Jul 14 2008 1:43 AM I've gotten help, but I'm already feeling torn about letting my secret or mispaced portion of life out into the open.
Tara	Jul 13 2008 12:00 PM Ok I finally decided to seek some help for all the pain and trauma I've endured. I want to release all this negativity from my life. But as I try to uncover all the reasons I do all the "crazy things I do" like hide from people and feel I am never good enough or worthy of any respect, I feel I start to feel even worse. I want to let go of all the devices to hide but now I feel vunerable and open and hurting and scared all the time. When I numbed the world out I was okay, if you could call that living I guess. Now I am trying to plod through my day awake and functioning and its scary crazy and upsetting most of the time. I didn't know how much work and struggle goes into trying to heal. I pray to God To bring me into the light past my demons and set me free once and for all.

~Robin~	Jul 13 2008 7:35 AM Hello to all whom staff this page.... I just wanted to say THANK YOU for having the 1.800.656.HOPE line... I have R.T.S. (Rape Trauma Syndrome) from my College years (95-97) while a student a Southern Illinois @ Carbondale (GHB & 16 hours later... rapist never prosecuted because he was a DEA informant, I was just out a a "date" with him, a co-worker...sad memories). I also have a Military Sexual Trauama (M.S.T) from my 2.24.2001 Sexual Assault by another United States Marine, while I was stationed as an Active Duty U.S. Marine in Okinawa, Japan... (always make sure your headmates door is locked before you go t sleep at night, you never know the scum that go and check unlocked doors while drunk at night).... he was givenan innocent verdict... and later I fund ou the 12 jur o "OUR PEERS" was stacked with 7 people from HI direct unit.... in themilitary there is no "Right to APPEAL" a General Court Martial.... so that punk is roaming the streets with an HONORABLE DISCHARGE just like me, only I ACTUALLY EARNED MINE. On 7.4.08 I was led to believe that a new acquaintance of mine from the local Veteran's Affairs Hospital was a good person, so I gladly accepted an invite to a 4thof July "Family-Type" Party.... only to be held captive for almost 8.5 hours while physically/sexally/and emotionally assaulted by thi female Military Veteran.... I am currently pressing Sexual/Physical Assault & Telephone/Email Harrassment charges against my Assailant and have my local "Safe Passage" (whom, as I found out after dialin your #, as I felt guilty calling them so much last weekend... tha their number is actually connected to your 1.800.656.HOPE telephone network... isn't that a Blessing...? I felt like it was God's way of telling me it was OK to call as much as I needed them... and I NEEDED someone to talk to badly for the first 72 hours after that night...) So.... despite ALL of that mess... I jst wante
