Rape Kits
Did you know that rape kits can cost upwards of $1,000? Depending on a victim’s legal situation, they may be left to cover the entire cost themselves. That’s where the Victory Club steps in. We make sure that no survivor is left without evidence to convict her abuser because she can’t afford it.
SAFE HOUSING
In 8 out of 10 cases of rape, the victim knew their abuser. Sexual violence and domestic violence often go hand-in-hand. The Victory Club helps victims escape these situations by helping them pay for safe housing while they start to rebuild their lives.
LEGAL FEES
Only 5 out of every 1,000 rapists will go to jail. The Victory Club ensures that survivors can afford to take their abusers to court. We know that legal fees can be crippling, and that survivors deserve to have justice without going into financial ruin.
SMART DEFENSE
Victory Club donations help fund the Smart Defense program, helping women learn how to prevent sexual abuse. Did you know that the Elizabeth Smart Foundation also gives survivors scholarships to learn Smart Defense? It empowers them and makes them feel back in control of their bodies.
MEDICAL BILLS
Sexual violence often corresponds with physical violence. Often, victims are left with long hospital stays and expensive ambulance fees to cover with little-to-no help. The Victory Club helps victims pay to receive the medical care they need.
THERAPY
94% of rape victims experience symptoms of PTSD within the 2 weeks following their rape. ONE in THREE women who are raped contemplate suicide. These survivors need help to process through their darkest moments, and the Victory Club helps them receive the mental healthcare they need.
