ADVOCACY | NORTHWEST CENTER AGAINST SEXUAL ASSAULT
Medical advocacy is available 24 hours a day at hospital emergency rooms. Whenever a survivor arrives at the hospital for treatment, the hospital calls the hotline and an advocate is sent out to sit with the survivor. The advocate offers emotional support, provides information on sexual violence, and gives any necessary referrals.
Legal advocacy is available 24 hours a day wherever needed. Advocates can support a survivor at the police department or help a survivor with a case that is currently being prosecuted.
