On this , we’re reflecting on the impact we made because of you. In 2025, we equipped judges with new tools to reduce adultification bias, mapped protections for youth survivors in all 50 states, and expanded our trainings into classrooms.

But there is so much more ahead—and we can’t do it without your support. Your gift today helps us meet growing demand for our trainings, tools, and youth-focused programs—and ensures girls and women are seen, heard, and protected.

 We’re thrilled to feature Rae de Leon, investigative journalist at Reveal, whose groundbreaking reporting and film Victim/Suspect exposed over 230 cases in which a sexual assault report ended in criminal charges.
 Her work sparked state-level legislation, earned national awards, and changed public understanding of how police interrogate survivors.

We’re honored to be joined by Rachel Barkley (they/she)—a fierce advocate and legal strategist with the Battered Women’s Justice Project.

From organizing with OUTLaw and the Black Law Student Association to litigating at the intersection of gender and state violence, Rachel brings a sharp lens and fresh energy to the fight for criminalized survivors.

Too many survivors report sexual assault and end up arrested instead of believed.

We need your vote to get our SXSW panel—Arresting the Innocent: Punishing Sexual Assault Survivors—to the stage and shine a spotlight on a growing crisis: charging survivors of sexual violence, especially young people and girls of color, with false reporting. Instead of support, they face charges. Instead of care, they get cuffs.

This dangerous trend was brought to light by the film Victim/Suspect, and we’re grateful to have the opportunity to continue that conversation.

We’re calling out these injustices and pushing for a justice system that does what it’s supposed to: protect survivors.

Help us have this conversation.
Vote for our panel now through August 24.
