The proclamation is this: whereas the City of Scottsdale shares a critical concern for victims of sexual violence and a desire to support their needs for justice and healing; and whereas according to the bureau of justice statistics only 36% of rapes, 34% of attempted rapes, and 26% of sexual assaults were reported between 1992 and 2000; whereas statistic now show offenders attack an average of six times, one failed response can equal five more victims. 75% of the time they target acquaintances and 77% of the time the rapes are committed using drugs or alcohol as a tactic; whereas research has shown that two of the primary reasons that victims of sexual assault do not report the crime are embarrassment and the stigma associated with the crime and the fear of not being believed and being blamed for the attack; whereas research documents that victims are far more likely to disclose their sexual assault to a friend or family member, and when these loved ones respond with doubt, shame or blame, victims suffer additional negative effects on their physical and psychological well-being; whereas, start by believing awareness campaign, a program of end violence against women international, is designed time prove the response of friends, family members and community professionals so they can help victims access supportive resources and engage the criminal justice system. Whereas local governments around the state are adopting the start by believing campaign the City of Scottsdale proudly joins in this simple message of support for survivors of sexual assault.

CITY OF SCOTTSDALE PAGE 5 OF 90 APRIL 14, 2015 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING CLOSED CAPTION TRANSCRIPT START BY BELIEVING/SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS [Time: 00:09:02] Kim Hedrick: Good evening, everyone. My name is Kim Hedrick. I'm very honored to be here tonight while the City of Scottsdale and the Scottsdale police department make the proclamation for April to start by believing month. Start by believing is a public awareness campaign designed to change the way we respond to rape and sexual assault in our communities. The goal of the start by believing campaign is to change the world and outcomes for victims, one response at a time. In November 2009 I was a victim of a serial rapist. Unfortunately, I encountered somebody who did not believe me. I stand here today as a survivor because thankfully I also encountered people who did believe me. I'm especially thankful for forensic nurse examiner Erin at Banner and the Scottsdale police department. When I say they saved my life I truly mean that. People often ask me why I speak about my experience, wouldn't I rather just forget about it.

The study then narrows in focus and includes an evaluation of recently released population and employment projections from the Maricopa Association of Governments on the more proximate region.

  • Arizona Lesbian List (ALL)
    r W omen’s C entral N ews ’náb U&4biCm dew ípúper NUM BER 3 VOLUM E XXVII April 1999 W CN’s Last Issue A M essage From the President Dear Friends: The Women’s Center, Inc. became a non-profit corporation in 1973 and, with a physical space, served mainly as an information and referral service for women. In 1977 they began to publish a newsletter to assist in providing out-reach to low income and working class women. In 1984 their physical space closed but the newsletter continued. Since then a large number of volunteer women have worked tirelessly to make the Women’s Center, Inc. newsletter a shining success. These lesbians did such an outstanding job that our little W CI newsletter grew and became the respected professional newspaper you now hold in your hand. Unfortunately, the workload required to accomplish all the tasks involved can no longer be maintained by Publication volunteers. Many of the current volunteer staff have worked on the paper for a half dozen years or more and now need, and want, to devote their spare time to other pursuits. Though the Women's Central News will cease to exist, the Women's Center, Inc. will go on and find other ways to serve the lesbian community. It has been a time of great reflection and soul searching for us all. We care deeply about the lesbian community and realize that the demise of the newspaper will leave women without a connection. The calendar of events and activities in each monthly issue has been a lifeline for many lesbians.
