The call to Pittsburgh’s hotline for child abuse and neglect came in at 3:50 p.m. on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving 2016. Sitting in one of 12 cubicles, in a former factory now occupied by the Allegheny County Police Department and the back offices of the department of Children, Youth and Families, the call screener, Timothy Byrne, listened as a preschool teacher described what a 3-year-old child had told him.

Our region is facing a shortage of nurses, trained to handle sexual assault cases.
Right now, in Northeast Tennessee, there are around half a dozen nurses called SANE's which stands for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners. But the problem is they're all in Johnson City.
Now, advocates in Sullivan County are trying to change that. Leaders at the Sullivan County Family Justice Center will be training SANE nurses next week. And the training is intense. Nurses have to learn not only the medical and psychological parts, but the legal side as well.

In 2017, dozens of women, as well as several men, made claims of sexual misconduct against powerful men in Hollywood, the media, the tech industry, and government. But sexual assault is a pervasive phenomenon, and these high-profile revelations barely scratched the surface. The National Crime Victimization Survey, released last month, estimates that people in the U.S. experienced over 320,000 incidents of rape and sexual assault in 2016. That works out to 1.2 such assaults per 1,000 people age 12 or older.

Human trafficking is a fundamental human rights violation. Its victims are among the most vulnerable populations in this country. It robs individuals of their freedom and their dignity, it splinters families, and it threatens public safety and national security.
Today, human trafficking takes many forms. In the United States for example, human trafficking cases have involved migrants (both documented and undocumented), the exploitation of children who have run away from home to escape abuse, and the abuse of developmentally disabled adults who are forced to work for long hours with little pay.

Ellen Kennedy was living and working in Washington, D.C., when she decided to make a radical career change.
Kennedy already had a political science degree and worked for Sen. Tim Johnson and the Democratic Party in South Dakota, but she returned to the University of South Dakota to pursue a nursing degree with the goal of becoming a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE). The shortage of nurses trained to conduct forensic medical examinations is an ongoing, nationwide problem.
