A credentialed Sexual Harassment/Assault Response Program representative will provide information, referral and immediate advocacy. Speaking to a SHARP representative is confidential and services are available to all Survivors of sexual violence (ages 18 & up) and their friends/loved ones. SHARP can assist with understanding reporting options, support during medical, legal, and law enforcement appointments, safety planning, and non-clinical support. SHARP services are confidential and do not require the Survivor to make a report.

Please note that in Italy, Italian medical personnel are mandatory reporters by law. If you, or someone you know, requires non-emergency medical assistance, please call the Sexual Assault Reporting Hotline at +39-0444-71-8540. A SHARP representative can assist with arranging 24/7non-emergency medical services for Survivors of sexual violence.
