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

  I had Donna Palomba, founder of Jane Doe No More,
  Inc. on our campus this past April for Sexual
  Assault Awareness Month.  I strongly recommend her
  and her work.  I think the most helpful thing to do
  first is go to the website and read her story.  It
  is pretty astounding and involved.  Her PTSD came
  primarily NOT from her rape, but from the police
  telling her later that she made it all up to cover
  up an affair (which was not true).  Her rapist
  turned out to be a family friend who knew her
  husband would be out of town.  He was eventually
  caught and convicted for other crimes against other
  women, but the statute of limitations had passed and
  he could no longer be charged with her rape.  She
  sued the police department for how they handled her
  case, and won.  And now she is working
  collaboratively with them and several other agencies
  to advocate for change on a large scale.  There was
  a Dateline NBC episode about her case which the
  agency will provide if you are considering showing
  it for education or having her come to your campus
  as a guest speaker.
   
  Hope this helps.
