MSU Center for Survivors

In 2023, The Trevor Project found that, "LGBTQ+ young people report higher rates of sexual violence than the general population. Nearly two in five LGBTQ+ young people (39%) reported that they had ever been forced to do “sexual things” that they did not want to do. " No one deserves to experience violence or hate. Everyone deserves safety, respect and care. We are always here for you at MSU Center for Survivors!
