6. In addition to race, LGBT+ Latinx survivors face the intersection of two forms of oppression, impacting whether or not they feel cared for by the larger community they live in. What methods should be used to make them feel affirmed and cared for as they tell their story and seek help?
I think that one of the most important things, particularly when we talk about supporting migrant and rural community members of all backgrounds, is that they often come from small communities. When people come from very

1. If a Spanish-speaking Latinx survivor wishes to seek help, sometimes they will find that in their communities (particularly rural ones that are under-resourced) they are living in an information desert lacking in Spanish-translated materials. How does Justice For Migrant Women reach out to these people?
So for a lot of survivors who speak languages other than English, it can be a real challenge to find information and resources in their language. Spanish is actually one of the languages where there are

Trigger Warning: Discussion of slavery, medical sexual violence, sex trafficking of minors
Note to Readers: The slavery of African Americans in the United States is undeniably one of the most reprehensible parts of American history. The institution of slavery justified, legitimized, and legalized the repeated horrendous abuse against women and children for a century. At NSVRC, we recognize that, as difficult as history may be to learn about, it is our duty to do so. We reached out to Dr. Crystal Feimster for

4. When an American Indian woman or girl goes missing due to sex trafficking, are there differences in the process of reporting to law enforcement on tribal and non-tribal lands?
I don’t believe so, and rarely does a family member feel like identifying that she’s being trafficked. Homegrown trafficking is the most common type of trafficking, for over 80% of people being trafficked, it’s homegrown. It could mean a domestic partner. It could be a family member. So I think that when a woman is reported

1. It wasn’t until 1999 that the Department of Justice released crime data relating to American Indian people. How has this deficit in data collection impacted indigenous organization’s ability to advocate for their cause? Have you/your organization noticed any changes since that data collection has expanded and been more common?
So I started at the agency in August of 2020, which was long after the data collection happened. However, I do think that there are some challenges that still exist in terms of

5. There is a brief scene in the documentary in which you depict a slave owner sexually assaulting a slave. When filming this scene, what did you do to ensure feelings of safety on set for the actress as both a woman and as a Black person?
That scene is a reality that probably almost every single Black person has in terms of their ancestral lineage. That’s based on my third great-grandmother, who was raped by the man who owned her. As the director, we had many acting rehearsals and discussions. On the

Three years ago, the filmed murder of George Floyd sent shockwaves throughout the world. It inspired a revitalization of racial justice movements, and its legacy can be found in the increased awareness and conversations about the many ways in which racism is still interwoven in the fabric of our society. Yet, as the years have gone past, we have observed a pushback against DEI in company culture, the teaching of the history of racial oppression in schools, and an overwhelming sense that the conversation of racial equity is “over”. At NSVRC, we believe that conversation can never be “over”,

NSVRC is committed to continuing the ongoing conversation about racial equity in the sexual violence movement. For the theme of this issue of The Resource, we emphasize that racism, and all forms of oppression, are inextricably tied to sexual violence. Racial equity must be at the forefront of our efforts to respond to and prevent sexual harassment, assault, and abuse.
This edition also marks the inaugural issue of The Resource delivered to readers in a fully digital format as an online magazine. For long-time readers, we hope The Resource online magazine continues to deliver articles and
