Safe Step For Girls

We recommend that all healthcare providers use the following questions when meeting with female patients to ensure their safety and provide pathways for support if women are afraid to speak up against abuse themselves.

  1. Have you ever been touched inappropriately?

  2. Have you ever been shown explicit photographs and videos that made you feel uncomfortable?

  3. Is there a situation in you home/school/workplace that makes you feel uncomfortable?

  4. Do you feel comfortable telling people “no” if they ask you to do something you don’t want to do?

  5. Has anyone ever continued to make you feel uncomfortable after you told them to stop?

  6. Is there a situation that you would like to speak to a professional about - particularly something that makes you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed?
