As the result of a resolution I authored, the Police Executive Research Forum released a report on Austin sexual assault investigations. We must continue to reform Austin’s sexual assault response system so that every survivor can access justice & healing.

An important account of child sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation. Told masterfully and reflecting dedication to finding a way to #EndVAWG -- which is ongoing and often hidden in plain sight.
Kate Price was willing to risk everything—her family ties, her professional reputation, her very sanity—on her memories being true. She was convinced that, if she just looked hard enough, she could find the evidence she needed. apps.bostonglobe.com/magazin…

We must believe and pay attention to what girls say about their experiences with sexual assault. As @ProfLWilliams and @Wellesley student Simone Toney say, we must do better to help girls, and the world at large, understand their worth. #SAAM2022 wcwonline.org/WCW-Blog-Women…
