SUMMARY:ITEMS FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS (DONATION DRIVE)
DESCRIPTION:This is the underwear that no woman wants to wear.\n\nAnd it’s not just because it’s a plain cotton sports bra the color of Pepto-Bismol.\n\nIt’s because this is the underwear we give to survivors of rape and sexual assault after we take their own underwear as evidence.\n\nWe take their nice underwear\, their favorite underwear\, their cute underwear\, their comfy underwear\, their best-fitting bra\, their 75-dollar designer bra\, their weekend bra\, their work bra.  And we take it away from them while wearing gloves\, and drop it into a paper bag\, and seal it with evidence tape and write their police case number on the outside\, and send it to the state crime lab\, and they never see it again.\n\nAnd we give them some Fruit from the Loom to wear home\, back to a life and a world they no longer recognize and no longer trust.\n\nBut here’s the kicker:  That boring sports bra is WAY way WAY better than what some survivors get when they’re discharged.\n\nSome women have ALL of their clothes taken for evidence.  Shirt.  Undershirt.  Pants.  Bra.  Underwear.  Even their socks.  And if the local forensic/sexual assault program that cares for them doesn’t have — or won’t buy — or can’t buy — clothes for them\, they get discharged in hospital scrubs.\n\nAnd grippy hospital socks.\n\nAnd postpartum white-mesh hospital underwear.\n\nAnd no bra.\n\nEver seen a woman who’s just been raped\, just had a three-hour forensic exam\, just had every surface of her battered body swabbed and photographed and inventoried for the police\, ever seen her walk out of a hospital wearing oversized hospital scrubs —\n\n—and her arms wrapped tightly around her chest\, ashamed\, because she doesn’t have a bra to wear?\n\nI have.\n\nAnd I absolutely refuse to ever see it again.\n\nThis is $150 of underwear from Kohl’s.  My team and I buy this underwear ourselves for our patients\, because we are no longer willing to let any of our survivors go home without a bra\, or without a decent pair of underwear.\n\nIf you are looking for a place to donate something meaningful this holiday season\, reach out to your local Forensic Nursing team\, rape crisis center\, or domestic violence shelter.\n\nGo to Wal-Mart\, or Kohl’s\, or Target\, and buy clothes you’d feel comfortable in curled up\, safe at home\, watching TV.  And donate them.\n\nNew underwear\, a comfortable bra\, a comfortable pair of pants\, a soft hoody\, squishy socks — all of these things can help make a woman who has survived a violent rape feel like a person again.\n\nA person.\nNot a victim.\n\nBecause it’s a long walk down that hallway\, out of the hospital\, and back into the world.\n\nAt least she can be comfortable as she takes each step.\n\n* * *\n\n\nHeartbreaking but REAL & RAW account from a forensic nurse.\n\nMontgomery County Women’s Center advocates responded 515 sexual assault exams in 2021. \nIf you or your organization are interested in donating bras & underwear for our Sexual Assault Advocacy Program they can be dropped off or mail to:\nMontgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd\, Conroe TX 77301 (Attn: Siomara)
