How to seek help or assistance?

It is extremely important that you seek medical attention and that you report the incident to the Guards.

There is complete discretion when disclosing; the victim is in full control and can withdraw at any time!
When reporting, YOU are in control and YOUR voice will be heard and taken seriously when you report.
You can request a female or male guard to speak to, whichever makes you feel more comfortable.
You can bring a friend with you to disclose.
