A distressing sexual experience may involve pain, pressure, violated boundaries or sexual violence. What happened is not your fault. Seek medical and emotional help immediately; also ask which reporting and forensic options are available under Curaçao's procedures.
- Pain, bleeding, bruises, small wounds or symptoms when urinating or sitting.
- Freezing, feeling numb, shame, guilt, anger, sadness or confusion.
- Go to a safe place and, if possible, ask someone you trust to stay with you.
- Seek medical help promptly, even if you are unsure what to call the experience or do not want to report it to the police.
- After recent sexual violence, contact specialist acute care as soon as possible, even without visible injury.
- For urgent GP care outside office hours, call HAP 9252. Call Ambulance 912 only for an immediate threat to life.
