Priority 1: Strengthen and Promote the Knowledge of
Services and Advocacy Among Professionals |
| |
“95% of
the rapes that occur on college campuses are committed by
someone known to the victim.”(10) |
 |
Recommendation: |
| |
It is our vision to create a coordinated
continuum of response to domestic and sexual assault; thus
it is vital that professionals are knowledgeable regarding
what services exist in their communities and in
surrounding areas. Rural, urban and tribal
communities look to professionals to educate the general
public, and respond to, and assist victims of violence.
For each community to have an accurate, appropriate
response to domestic violence and sexual assault, it is
vital that communication and teambuilding take place among
professionals. |
| |
Victim
services, specifically in the 19 domestic violence and
sexual assault programs, vary according to availability
and funding. For example, all programs offer crisis
intervention, advocacy, and emergency shelter, while only
a few offer a shelter facility and family visitation
centers. (See Appendix A for a list of ND programs
and services) Especially in the programs that offer
primarily crisis intervention services, it is vital that
teambuilding and resource sharing take place to provide
information and facilitate referrals to other providers
and thus to improve the overall response to domestic
violence and sexual assault. |
| |
As part of
the State Plan process, a survey was sent out to
professionals working to stop violence against women, such
as law enforcement, prosecutors, advocates, healthcare
providers, and educators. The results of this survey
provided insight into the availability of services in
rural, urban, and tribal communities. Below are
strategies and action steps that articulate how
communities can improve services and responses to domestic
violence and sexual assault. |
| |
Goal:
Strengthen the relationships and
partnerships among professionals and the public to
facilitate a community based response to victims and
perpetrators of domestic and sexual violence. |
| |
Strategy:
Explore the opportunities for research,
development of services, and implementation of policies
and protocols identified in the State Plan survey on
services. |
| |
Note: Each action step will be discussed in detail from
the perspective of the professionals who completed the
survey. The agency that will provide leadership in
achieving these strategies will be identified as well as
the mechanism for implementation. |
