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

[Angela DiNunzio Seguin <>]

  I should add that during her case against the
  city/police, she called herself "Jane Doe" to
  protect her anonymity.  She is from a small town in
  Connecticut and everyone had already read all about
  her case in the newspapers.  The police believed she
  was covering up an affair because of a baseless
  anonymous tip call.  Rumors were flying around the
  town and she wanted to protect her identity.  In
  calling her agency "Jane Doe No More" she was
  literally lifting her own anonymity and focussing on
  her strength and survival.
