Colorado could soon strengthen its rape shield law to better protect survivors from having what they wore, how they did their hair, or other personal details used as evidence of consent when consent was not given.

This is what progress looks like: North Carolina has cleared its backlog of over 15k kits! Thank you to NCCoalitionAgainstSA, for always standing up for survivors and Josh Stein for working tirelessly for justice and healing for survivors in North Carolina. bit.ly/3PZVkdh

Your voice and story matter. We are here for this conversation, ALWAYS.

South Carolina is finally jumpstarting pilot programs to help survivors track their rape kits. We're happy to see progress at last.

'Hopeful news: In Colorado, a new bill would protect survivors from having their relationship or what they were wearing used against them in court.

We believe that our response to sexual assault must start with community. How will you connect and get involved?

This is why we do the work that we do: No survivor should ever have to wait over seven years to have her rape kit tested. #endthebacklog krqe.com/news/albuquerq…

There are a slew of reasons victims and survivors may hesitate to report. Reminder: It is always up to you and when, if, and how you share your story and seek justice.
