About the Editor

First Response Action - Casey Frazee: I am just another (Returned)Peace Corps Volunteer who wants to make a difference.

As a survivor of a sexual assault incident while serving in Southern Africa in 2009, I believe that all volunteers should know their rights as volunteers and what resources they have. I believe that volunteers should have access to those resources and be provided with correct information. I also firmly believe that volunteers should not be revictimized after being assaulted, raped or after experiencing any other physical crime.

I am now joined by four other phenomenal women, who are also RPCVs, who believe that Peace Corps needs to improve it's response to survivors of physical and sexual assault. Profiles of these amazing women can be found on this blog's sidebar.
