Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners
End Violence Against Women International helps improve outcomes for survivors of sexual and domestic violence, and works to protect victims, prevent future attacks, and keep communities safe. There are many clinical facilities that do not have access to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) or trained sexual assault examiners to provide expert care to patients across the life span following sexual assault or abuse. As a result, clinicians are often inadequately prepared to address the healthcare and evidentiary needs of this patient population, and patients may be turned away. EVAWI offers a free online training for all health care providers to provide improved care when no SANE is on staff. With the guidance conducted within this training, clinicians are more equipped to provide their patients with trauma-informed, patient-centered approach. EVAWI is also listed on GGWW’s Advocacy page.
