About PAVSA
Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault (PAVSA) is committed to eliminating sexual violence in southern Saint Louis County by supporting survivors, educating the community, and advocating for change.
What is Sexual Violence?
Sexual violence is any sexual actions or words committed against someone without that person’s freely given consent. Sexual violence is about having power and control over another person, not about sex or sexuality.
It can look a number of ways:
- Sexual Harassment
- Stalking
- Unwanted Sexual Contact
- Rape or Sexual Assault
- Intimate Partner Sexual Violence
- Survival Sex
- Sexual Exploitation & Trafficking
