Help Eliminate Rape Kit Backlog Nationwide

As of two weeks ago, North Carolina's rape kit backlog is now caught up but so many states continue to have a backlog. Join me in making a difference by contributing to the funding of testing rape kits and eliminating the backlog in every state to stop serial rapists now, not years from now.

“...[T]esting of these backlogged rape kits has resulted in the identification of more than 1,320 suspected serial rapists.”

“Former Lake County probation officer Nathan Ford has been linked to at least 15 rapes since the early 1990s. Ford was first convicted of raping seven women and one child in 2006. In 2015, newly analyzed DNA evidence from untested rape kits connected Ford to an additional seven rapes. Ford is serving 138 years in prison for his 2006 convictions. Since the launch of the Ohio Sexual Assault Kit Testing Initiative, Ford has been linked to 14 additional assaults.”

Joyful Heart Foundation is a nationwide organization whose goal is to transform society's response to sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse, and support survivors' healing.
