MISSION - WHAT WE DO

RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE, online.rainn.org y rainn.org/es) in partnership with more than 1,000 local sexual assault service providers across the country and operates the DoD Safe Helpline for the Department of Defense. RAINN also carries out programs to prevent sexual violence, help victims, and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Sexual violence affects nearly every family in the nation. Every 98 seconds an American is sexually assaulted, and every 8 minutes that victim is a child. Survivors of sexual violence often experience negative psychological and physical effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. Survivors who get help from trained support specialists are more likely to receive medical services and report the assault. To give survivors the support they deserve, RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline in English and Spanish and the DoD Safe Helpline. The national conversation around sexual violence means that survivors are contacting RAINN in record numbers. We have increased hotline capacity, yet demand is growing faster than our ability to help. Long wait times cause thousands of survivors each month to leave before connecting with our trained support specialists.
