ADVOCACY
Victim Advocates are at the forefront of advancing safety and justice for American Indian and Alaska Native victims of sexual violence, often standing on the frontlines and fighting many hard-won battles. This section is dedicated to aiding victim advocates in Indian Country by supplying them with the tools and resources they need to perform their jobs more efficiently.
LEGAL
The "What is Sexual Assault" tab contains all of the basic legal concepts related to sexual violence. This section also contains information on the importance of proving all the statutory elements of the crime, the definition of "consent", and a listing of all of the tribal, state, and federal sexual assault statutes.
MEDICAL & HEALTH
Sexual Violence can have serious medical and health consequences for the victim and her family. The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) tab explains the key role of the SANE in a coordinated Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), SANE certification, and the SANE Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE).
VICTIMS WITH UNIQUE CONSIDERATIONS
Not every victim presents with the same needs. This tab addresses some of the unique considerations affecting many American Indian/Alaska Native victims and contains information on topics ranging from the sexual abuse of elders to sexual violence against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Intersex (LGBTQI) victims.
ALASKA
Alaska’s official rate of sexual violence is 2.5 times that of the national average, one of the highest in the United States and in the world. The rate of sexual violence committed against Alaskans under the age of 18 is, shockingly, almost 6 times that of the national average.
