Justice for Survivors of Sexual Assault

Many survivors of sexual assault are not receiving the justice they deserve. For one thing, an estimated hundreds of thousands of rape kits are left unused, reducing the odds that the perpetrators will be identified and prosecuted. When rape kits are used, many survivors are flooded with bills, in some cases for many years. This system is unethical and illegal. The post Justice for Survivors of Sexual Assault appeared first on The Hastings Center.
