End Violence Against Women International

The Seek Then Speak: A Survivor-Centered Alternative Pathway to Justice and Services project enhances and expands the utilization of Seek Then Speak, an interactive web-based tool for sexual assault survivors to have a new way to privately gather information, explore options, and take action, including beginning the process of reporting their sexual assault to law enforcement, if they choose.

This project provides law enforcement with training and tools to effectively respond to allegations of sexual assault by using trauma-informed, victim-centered, and offender-focused approaches and investigative techniques with the goal of increasing the likelihood of successful investigations and prosecutions while avoiding re-traumatizing victims.

This project provides medical providers and allied professionals with quality training and technical assistance aligned with current best practices to improve sexual assault survivors’ access to medical forensic care, including culturally appropriate care.
