WomensLaw is not just for women. We serve and support all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
Important: Even if courts are closed, you can still file for a protection order and other emergency relief. See our FAQ on Courts and COVID-19.
You can file for a sexual assault restraining order if you are an adult victim of sexual assault. You can also file on behalf of a minor child if you are the parent, step-parent, or guardian of the child and the child has been the victim of sexual assault.1
