Assistance League of Tucson joins the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault (SACASA) to respond to the needs of victims of sexual assault in our community. When someone has been the victim of a sexual assault, the victim must give all of their clothing to the police as evidence.  Assistance League prepares and provides Assault Survivor Kits which contain clothing and toiletries.  After the forensic examination is completed, a victim can wash and dress in fresh clothes.

Assault Survivor Kit Contents

Sweatpants

Sweatshirt

Underwear

Rubber sandals

Socks

Toiletries include toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, and lotion

More than 80 victims have been aided by this program each year at a cost of $25 per kit.

Our volunteers prepare the kits and provide them to SACASA.   SACASA sends a certified female nurse examiner and an advocate to the victim who is at a local hospital.  The nurse brings the Assault Survivor Kit to the hospital and once the forensic examination is complete, helps the victim to cleanse and dress.  Thanks to the efforts of Assistance League, SACASA has a ready supply of Assault Survivor Kits with them to give to female and male (adult and child) victims at all times.  To learn more about SACASA, click here.
