RAINN is the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization and the leading authority on sexual violence. We are a dynamic organization focused on victim services, public education, public policy, and consulting services. Our team develops and operates best-in-class services for survivors, informs and educates the nation about sexual violence, and improves the public policy and criminal justice response to these crimes. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline, which has helped more than 2.7 million survivors of sexual violence since 1994. The hotline is available by phone (800.656.HOPE) and online chat (online.rainn.org) in English and Spanish (rainn.org/es). The service is free, confidential, and available 24/7.
