In an ABCnews.com story today, ABC News reports about an anticipated Congressional investigation into Peace Corps' management of incidences of sexual violence.
The story was spurred by a speech given by Congressman Poe to the House floor on Monday 1/24. Congressmen Ted Poe, R-Texas, and Jim Costa, D-CA, head the Victims' Rights Caucus and are supporters of First Response Action. Jointly, they sent a letter of support to Peace Corps in favor of FRA's mission to improve training on sexual assault and response to survivors of sexual violence.

I was repeatedly harassed and verbally and physically assaulted while in the Peace Corps in Romania. The Peace Corps did nothing to support or protect me- the Romanian police however did what they could to keep me safe. I know others who have been assaulted while serving in the Peace Corps around the world. Peace Corps has a history of covering this up.
ReplyDeleteWill you post copies of both letters?
