Designed to preserve forensic evidence of sexual assault that would hold up in court, this kit became an essential tool for women to confront their assailants. Pagan Kennedy, the author of &ldquo;The Secret History of the Rape Kit: A True Crime Story,&rdquo; will be interviewed by &nbsp;local media consultant Delmarie Cobb, who will also moderate a panel composed of an ob-gyn who specializes in trauma-informed care; a community engagement coordinator of a local group working against sexual exploitation; and a forensic nursing specialist. In a media climate that has prominently featured stories of sexual exploitation, this should be an important program that will provide a historical perspective on this issue, as well as an exploration of the help available to today&#39;s survivors.🎉</strong></p>
