Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, & the Disability Community

Did you know that people with disabilities are four times more likely to be victims of sexual assault than people without disabilities? 

People with disabilities are at high risk to be victims of crimes like sexual assault and domestic violence. These crimes are often not recognized, not reported, and not punished. This means that the abuser may be able to hurt people again. When these crimes are reported by people with disabilities, the police are less likely to respond to them than they are to reports made by people without disabilities.

Through this resource, we hope to raise awareness about some of the causes of the high risk in the disability community and to let you know about help that is available in Kansas.
