Confidentiality
Confidentiality & privacy are critical legal issues for many survivors. Fortunately, many laws exist to protect victims’ privacy. Specific laws address concerns related to health care providers, courts, and public records.

Communications with Rape Crisis Center advocates are considered “privileged” and cannot be disclosed without the victim’s consent (except in cases covered by mandatory reporting laws). For more information, contact your local rape crisis center.
