There is a lot of information available about sexual violence and the people affected by it.  This fact, however, is surrounded by myths on how sexual violence impacts a person with a disability.  These erroneous beliefs about sexual violence, in general, encourage damaging victim-blaming for survivors with disabilities as well as survivors without disabilities.  We hope this information will clarify some of the most common misconceptions about sexual violence in general and also how sexual violence impacts people with disabilities. – (Nevada Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence – NCEDSV) see below Myths and Facts
