"RAINN is an outstanding resource on confronting sexual assault. Most recently, we've worked together on the bipartisan Campus Accountability and Safety Act. This bill has provisions to ensure that colleges treat sexual assault cases with the seriousness they deserve.
RAINN and I agree that sexual assault is a major criminal offense. It should be treated as a crime wherever it occurs, whether that's in the military or on a college campus."
--- Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)

"We have accomplished a lot in the 113th Congress for survivors of sexual violence, both by greatly expanding protections in the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, and reauthorizing the Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Reduction Program, which has reduced the backlog of untested rape kits so that victims need not live in fear while rape kits languish in storage.
Congress's work for victims is not done. Before the end of the year, we must reauthorize the Justice for All Act, which expands important rights for victims of crime and improves confidence in our criminal justice system. All victims deserve our support."
--- Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
