Hear from a survivor about how sexual assault affects not just the victim but also family members and everyone to whom they disclose. This personal example of the support this survivor received speaks to trusted individuals in whom victims have confided, as well as criminal justice professionals to encourage them to understand the impact of sexual assault. The patience, support, and safety provided by these individuals are imperative in survivors’ journey to recovery.
Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
