Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

i have a list i've compiled of numerous privacy rights -- but it is not 
available on this computer so i can only fax it - 

it lists about 40 privacy and confidentiality rights applicable in 
massachusetts -- though many are federal laws which apply in all 
jurisdictions.

if you backchannel me a request, i will fax you the list.  I give it out at 
the trainings i do on confidentiality and privacy rights and i encourage all 
who work with victims to give them a copy, too -- so they will know their 
rights and will at least have an opportunity to protect their rights even 
without legal representation.  there's nothing better than having a victim 
cite a statute or a constitutionally-based federal court ruling when police, 
prosecutors or defense counsel try to get them to reveal irrelevant personal 
information.

this is not just an abstract exercise in learning about privacy rights.  the 
top two reasons cited by victims as to why they refuse to report rape and 
participate in the criminal justice system are: fear of being blamed and fear 
of being shamed.  both reasons derive from concerns related to privacy rights 
 thus, if we do a better job helping protect victims' privacy rights AND 
empowering victims with the knowledge and power to insulate themselves from 
gratuitous privacy intrusions, more women will report rape and participate in 
the justice system because the reasons NOT to participate will be diminished.
