Let them know they are believed and supported. Perhaps the number one fear of sexual assault survivors is that they won’t be believed. The best thing you can do is offer unwavering support. In the upcoming trials your friend will have to face, it will help enormously to know that at least one person is unequivocally on their side.

Internal measures -

1) It’s common for a victim of sexual abuse not to want to be touched. Pulling her in for a hug without asking for permission can feel like another violation, more loss of personal power.

2) Someone who is sexually abused s likely already doing psychological numbers on herself. The last thing they need is a person they trust to victim-blame.Be that person for him.

3) In the rush to be present for your him/her, to listen to her /his story, to be her rock, you might be triggered to relive a past trauma of your own. Being a caretaker takes a toll. Do not neglect yourself. Reach out to your support system. Take time for yourself. Remember, you can’t give to anyone else if you are depleted.

External Remedies -

Various laws have been created with a motive to protect victims. During criminal proceedings, publication bans and rape shield laws protect victims from excessive public scrutiny. Laws may also prohibit defence lawyers from obtaining a victim's medical, psychiatric or therapeutic records. Statutory assault laws set the age of legal consent for sexual activity and prohibits perpetrators from alleging the victim consented to the activity. Victims in some jurisdictions can seek damages from criminal and institutions if warnings were not issued. Numerous victims' rights groups operate to improve the treatment of victims and provide them proper support.
