A friend and I were sharing how powerful this cover is and how it's a time when both rape survivors and incest survivors feel bonded. The stories told and the way women were responded to (or not responded to) resonates with survivors of adult sexual assault and survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Among the many reasons that the sexual exploitation cases in places such as Rochdale and Rotherham took so long to be recognised, investigated and eventually prosecuted was that many of the victims felt unable to report to the police what had happened to them or, in a number of cases, first appeared on the police radar because they themselves were committing offences. Some of the victims, mainly very vulnerable and abused girls and women, committed theft, public order offences and sometimes much worse.

The Sexual Assault Victim’s Access To Justice Act sets up an array of victims' rights in sexual assault cases.
The act requires police agencies to inform survivors about how they can get help and support, where the survivor can get free medical care and testing, and to do it all within 24 hours of the first contact with the survivor.

The Children’s Clinic, tucked in a busy office park five miles outside downtown Portland, Oregon, and bustling with noisy babies, boisterous kids and energetic pediatricians, seems ordinary enough. But, for the last two years, a quiet revolution has been brewing in its exam rooms: When parents bring their four-month-old babies in for well-baby checkups, they talk about their own childhood trauma with their kid’s pediatrician.

Georgia’s largest public hospital improperly charged more than 730 rape victims for forensic exams, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation has found.
Under state law, Grady Memorial Hospital is supposed to provide rape exams free to victims and send the bills to a special state fund — billing them is considered as unfair as a shooting victim paying police to dust the weapon for fingerprints.

I last wore a bikini nearly 25 years ago when I was eight months pregnant. That summer it was brutally hot, and the stucco bungalow we were renting in Los Angeles didn’t have air conditioning.
