GW Hospital administration just confirmed they will hire and train SANE staff to serve our community. This win belongs to every one of you who signed this page to demand better care. Keep your eyes on the hospital announcements to ensure they follow through with the timeline they promised.
Trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE's) must use rape kits to collect evidence after sexual assault in order to use this evidence in court and create official records of the incident. Currently, SANE's are only employed by Washington Hospital Center. This petition aims to get a SANE at George Washington University Hospital so that students and community members can report sexual assault and promote safety.
The hospital administration has been quiet regarding our request for dedicated SANE staff. Email the hospital board today to demand they prioritize trauma informed care for all patients. Tell them that waiting for an expansion of this program is a failure of their duty to this community.

it is honestly insane that this isnt already a standard thing everywhere. patients shouldn't have to travel across the city during their worst moment.

Way too much bureaucracy for something so vital. Get this program set up at GW immediately.

This is a basic necessity. Why are we making it harder for people to get justice?

The hospital is right on campus and students should have access to this without needing a taxi ride to the other side of town. fix this now.

Whatever the cost is, it's worth it to protect the victims. Stop dragging your feet.
