Do you know where youā€™d go to get a sexual assault evidence kit (SAEK aka rape kit/exam) done?

Is your answer: my closest hospital?

According to the Silenced report, released from @_shematters, 41% of Canadian hospitals do not have SAEKs on site.

In Ontario, itā€™s 39%ā€¦

In Toronto, there are 3 hospitals where survivors are directed to go in order to have a kit done:

1ļøāƒ£Womenā€™s College Hospital [or one of their partner locations in which a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) travels between via taxi or ride share]ā€¦

YES! Just published article "The Bureaucratic Burden of Identifying your Rapist and Remaining ā€œCooperativeā€: What the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative Tells us about Sexual Assault Case Attrition and Outcomes." Full-text link. @BegunCenter @SAKInitiative

/2 Main Qs: We know kits weren't tested but why didn't these cases result in holding the offender accountable? When did these cases fail to proceed in the criminal justice process and why?
3/ Findings: 1) Most "closed" very early in the process. Soon after reporting, soon after the assault. 2) Most were minimally investigated. 3) Most closed before detectives interviewed victims.
