New Jersey is proof that states can adopt rape kit reform and address backlogs when journalists report the truth and advocates push for transformative change. https://t.co/eEbh7jtRRr

Victim, survivor, person. However you refer to yourself, you are so much more than what happened to you.

“I have taken care of hundreds of survivors,” Gilpin said, “and this is more important than you can imagine.” https://t.co/fd769ppOSg

When survivors hear there is nothing to be done about an injustice they have faced, they take action. They make change. They pass laws. https://t.co/XJqEHLn7QX

Teens often confide in friends. Talking to young people about healthy versus unhealthy relationships doesn't just help them—you could help their friends too.

Celebrating yourself > shrinking for them.

Maine would be the last state to pass transformative legislation to support sexual assault survivors, count untested rape kits, and create a tracking system to empower survivors. Now is the time to make it happen.

This is what accountability looks like! After a 2024 audit found serious delays in sexual assault kit testing, the San Antonio Police department stepped up. In the past year, they reduced late kit submissions from 117 over two years to just 5 in 12 months. https://t.co/s6YvxqtoZB

Texas has passed a new law allowing sexual assault survivors to have their rape kits tested without having to file a police report. But advocates point to a growing backlog of over 1,700 untested kits in the state. Survivors’ rights must be funded.

Hairstylists are often the people their clients confide in. We’re thrilled to see another state has passed training requirements for barbers and cosmetology professionals to know how to respond to signs of domestic violence. https://t.co/BqrmiYFK0e

Great news: Pennsylvania is passing a law to make it easier for survivors get unemployment benefits when domestic violence disrupts their work life.
