  • Medical Care and Evidence Collection: A medical examination is important because it can treat possible injuries, protect from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and prevent pregnancy resulting from the assault. Examinations are done within 72 hours of a sexual assault at the Kapiʻolani Medical Center at 1319 Punahou Street. SATC will hold all evidence collected during the examination, whether or not you are ready to report the assault to the police.

Counseling: Support is available for all survivors. A sexual assault can be an intense physical and emotional experience. It is common to feel shocked, confused, and overwhelmed.
