Information for British nationals who are victims of rape and sexual assault in Tanzania.
Documents
Details
This information is provided to help British nationals overseas make informed decisions about whether and how to:
- Seek medical advice and attention
- Report to local police
- Engage with foreign legal authorities following a rape or other form of sexual assault overseas.
If you have been sexually assaulted it is important to remember that it was not your fault. Rape and sexual assault is always wrong – no matter who commits it or where it happens. It is traumatic and it can affect you both physically and emotionally. Do not be afraid to get help.
For information on support available in the UK, see Rape and Sexual Assault: Returning to the UK.
