The Resource Sharing Project was created to help sexual assault state coalitions across the country access the resources they need to develop and thrive. They provide technical assistance, support, and facilitate peer-driven resources for all sexual assault state coalitions.
We are thrilled to support this important work by designing a logo for their new project, Enhancing Sexual Assault Services: A Demonstration Initiative (ESAS). ESAS seeks to help existing programs do their work better, by sharing the resources that already exist. It’s not about coming in and telling them how it’s done; it’s about listening, understanding, sharing ideas and building new approaches. It is offered in a spirit of deep appreciation and respect for the hard work they are currently doing.
- Enhancing Sexual Assault Services seeks to change the mindset of existing domestic violence service providers, to help them understand that sexual violence is a distinct issue apart from domestic violence.
- It seeks to change or expand their focus to include previously under-served communities; i.e. teens, males, LGBT, adult survivors of childhood abuse.
- It further seeks to change the discussion in communities and the media, to acknowledge that sexual assault and abuse happens everywhere, and must be acknowledged before any lasting change can be made.
