RAINN is the nation’s largest anti–sexual violence organization and the operator of the National Sexual Assault Hotline, providing critical, survivor-centered support to millions of people impacted by sexual violence. Grounded in the belief that survivors deserve care, dignity, and justice, RAINN works to end sexual violence through crisis intervention, public education, policy advocacy, and institutional accountability.
At the core of RAINN’s work is its commitment to immediate, confidential support for survivors. Through the National Sexual Assault Hotline, RAINN connects individuals to trained advocates and local resources, helping survivors navigate trauma, access care, and reclaim agency on their own terms.
Beyond crisis response, RAINN addresses the broader conditions that allow sexual violence to persist. By advancing prevention efforts, strengthening laws and institutional responses, and promoting accountability for perpetrators, RAINN contributes to safer communities and systemic change. Its work spans education, research, and advocacy—bridging individual healing with collective responsibility.
Why It Matters: Ending sexual violence requires both survivor support and cultural transformation. RAINN operates at this intersection—meeting survivors where they are while working to dismantle the systems that enable harm.
