Acerca de MESA
El Movimiento para eliminar la agresión sexual (MESA) ha estado sirviendo a la comunidad desde 1972 como el único centro de crisis contra violaciones sirviendo a los condados de Boulder y Broomfield en Colorado.
MESA ofrece apoyo y servicios a TODOS los sobrevivientes de una agresión sexual y no discrimina contra ninguna persona basándose en su raza, etnicidad, identidad de género, orientación sexual, estado socioeconómico, educación, localidad geográfica, edad, habilidad, idioma, origen nacional, cultura, estado migratorio, afiliación política, profesión, creencias religiosas y/o espirituales.
Nuestra misión:
Nosotros creemos que cada persona tiene el derecho de vivir libre de agresiones sexuales. Nos estamos moviendo para eliminar la agresión sexual y el sufrimiento que causa en nuestra comunidad. Desafiamos todo tipo de opresión y reconocemos su conexión con la violencia sexual.
What is Sexual Violence?
¿Qué es una violencia sexual?
Es cualquier actividad sexual que ocurra sin haberse dado libremente un consentimiento.
¿Cuáles acciones pueden ser una violencia sexual?
La violencia sexual incluye una agresión sexual, un acoso sexual, o haber sido expuesto, sin consentimiento, a materiales de índole sexual. Algunas formas de violencia sexual no incluyen el toque como espiar, exhibicionismo, y acechar.
Una violencia sexual, ya sea de cualquier forma, es inaceptable y nunca es la culpa de la víctima.
What Can Sexual Violence Look Like?
Sexual violence can take many forms, some of which do not involve penetration. It can range from unwanted sexual contact over the clothes, like touching someone’s buttocks or fondling their breasts, to rape. Some forms of sexual violence do not even involve touch, such as peeping, stalking, and flashing.
No parar una actividad sexual al estar pedido es una violencia sexual.
MESA puede acompañarte paso a paso durante tu proceso de sanar.
