She Matters has launched Canada's first 'Forensic Evidence Collection Map'. Together, we can drive positive change and advocate for increased accessibility across the nation. she-matters.mykajabi.com/silencedreport #accessibilitymatters #justiceforsurvivors #accesstojustice
@SandieAtkinson1 Thank you for your support, Sandie! As a volunteer-led organization, we appreciate the support of survivors and allies aligned with our mission beyond words.
Perpetrators of sexual violence will continue to roam free while victims/survivors will continue to be treated as though they don’t matter. We cannot allow this pattern to continue any longer. Survivors matter. What happened to them matters. (2/2)
Until crimes that are predominantly committed against women are treated & regarded seriously, rape kits, SANEs, care, resources & supports will continue to be inaccessible in many communities & hospitals across Canada. (1/2) @_shematters @LedaHealthCo chatelaine.com/living/rape-ki…
Did you know that common reactions to sexual violence align with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and behavioural outcomes such as high-risk behaviour? Visit sexualassaultsupport.ca to learn more. #WorldMentalHealthDay #SurvivorsFirst
Big thank you to @thebigstoryfpn for inviting She Matters Director, @heyitsjacv, to discuss the SAEK Accessibility Crisis. Our favourite quote? @TheGameSheet intro, "Usually I end these intros with a bunch of questions. Today I have just one. What the hell are we doing here?!"
Proper evidence collection after a sex assault can be crucial in bringing perpetrators to justice, but not all Canadian hospitals even offer the service. @heyitsjacv of @_shematters joins @thebigstoryfpn to discuss why that is, and how we fix it. link.chtbl.com/TheBigStoryCYO…
Funding for access to SAEKs & SANEs in every single Canadian hospital, as well as funding for community-based SA/DVCCs across the province—& the country itself—needs to not only be reinstated but adequately funded in the first place. #SupportSurvivors @LucilleCollard @_shematters
.@fordnation must reinstate clawed back funding to community-based SASCs across Ontario so that survivors of sexual violence can access support. We have seen an uptick in #GBV during the “shadow pandemic”. @SASCWR & other SASCs & survivors can’t wait any longer #onpoli

Our response any time an MP, Minister, or MPP act shocked when they speak about the SAEK accessibility crisis.....like they never received our report and link to "Untested Evidence" @w5 episode 12+ months ago 🙃
Hey @celliottability, when @LucilleCollard proposed Bill 108 ensuring equal access to SAEK kits she was discussing survivors rights and equal access to justice....not workplace sexual harassment. Over one year ago we sent @fordnation the Silenced Report. We received no response.
Believe it or not, this is a global issue. Do a search for yourself & see if rape kits (SAEKs) are available in every hospital in your city, province/state, & country. Toronto has only 3 sites where SAEKs are available. None of which are in the north west quadrant of the city.
⚡️Not every Ontario hospital has rape evidence kits. A proposed law would change that Story by @krushowy x.com/i/events/15096…
This proposed law was such a welcome surprise to read today! Well done to all at She Matters United! If you haven’t yet read the Silenced report from @_shematters, check it out here: shematters.ca/silencedreport
Thank you to @LucilleCollard for standing in unity with survivors of sexual assault across Ontario by presenting Bill 108. #StrongerTogether #istandwithsurvivors
Yesterday, I presented Bill 108 to guarantee that every hospital have 10 sexual assault evidence kits on hand for free at all times. I asked the government if they would support this. Unfortunately, Doug Ford's conservative ministers have no idea what I'm talking about. #onpoli👇
The group She Matters surveyed hospitals across Canada to find out if rape kits were available on site. It found most hospitals did not have them, and that some chose not to collect evidence because of the two- to eight-hour time commitment to do so. thestar.com/politics/provi…
Seven months following the release of "Untested Evidence on @CTVW5, She Matters continues to receive the stories of survivors across Canada being turned away from hospitals and health centers when seeking a SAEK examination following sexual assault. #istandwithsurvivors
Gabrielle Doyon Hanson recalls the moment she was turned away from a hospital in downtown Montreal after trying to access a sexual assault evidence kit. Watch ‘Untested Evidence’ this Saturday at 7pm and online: youtube.com/watch?v=YkkIbD…
