As the director of the SANE-SART Resource Service, in Minneapolis, I know all too well that the circumstances surrounding a sexual assault should not —and do not— matter. Rape is never the victim’s fault.
Keeping women and men safe on campus comes from creating an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
To encourage victims to come forward —and support survivors— communities are developing and operating a Sexual Assault Response Team, referred to as a SART.
How a SART addresses the severity, complexity and impact of sexual assault—and seeks justice for victims–is powerfully portrayed in the video, “Break the Silence: Sexual Assault and the SART Solution.”
In the video, SART sexual assault victims in rural and Native American Communities, as well as SART members, share their experiences and how a SART has served them.
I encourage you to watch the video. Download it. Share it. http://www.sane-sart.com/breakthesilence/

Thanks for sharing. We will. And by the way, I will be in Minnesota in June. Maybe we could connect and I could interview you for our show.
