Addressing the Lack of Support Systems for Sexual Assault Survivors
This chapter sheds light on the lack of support systems in place for survivors of sexual assault, including the provision of replacement clothes after evidence collection. It explores the difficulties survivors face when sent home in paper slippers and surgical gowns, potentially causing suspicion from neighbors and hindering disclosure. Marty Goddard's efforts to change the way evidence is collected, including the creation of an evidence collection kit, are also discussed.
