ASK (Assault. Services. Knowledge.) DC is the first and only user-friendly technology platform of its kind – created to connect survivors of sexual violence with the critical support they need. Available in nine languages, ASK brings together a full spectrum of services, including medical, legal, mental health, law enforcement, advocacy, campus-based, and prevention resources, all in one centralized, easy-to-access location. 

ASK DC is confidential, safe, free, and for everyone. Whether you are a survivor or someone supporting a friend, family member, colleague, or neighbor, ASK offers a way to access help. The platform is customizable to meet the specific needs of any community and serves as a powerful tool to strengthen communication and collaboration among service providers and stakeholders. 

Launched in 2012 by MCSR and redesigned in 2025, ASK DC is managed today as a project of the DC Coalition to End Sexual Violence. 

If you or someone you know needs help, ASK DC can help you find it.
