 The SANE 365 campaign is designed to help develop or strengthen sexual assault medical forensic services in communities that need assistance. Knowing that it can still be a challenge to talk to facility administrators about ways to strengthen support for patients, IAFN created SANE 365 to highlight and support hospitals in understanding their responsibility in the care of patients who have experienced sexual violence.
Take a look at the SANE 365 Campaign and please use these resources to your advantage in your community.

For years, hundreds of sexual assault kits lay untested in Austin’s evidence rooms, spurring lawmakers and activists to take action in recent months.
Although most of those kits have been moved into testing centers, the city is determined to keep a backlog from happening again. The City Council passed a resolution Thursday authorizing the partnership between the Austin Police Department and the University’s Institute for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, granting $230,000 for research on the city’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative, SAKI.

The Oregon Senate unanimously voted to pass a bill that would increase the penalty for strangulation.
Senate Bill 1562 expands the definition of strangulation. It adds the applied pressure to the victim's chest.
