sexual assault

Arizona’s laws surrounding abortion are still unclear in the weeks since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Advocates say the lack of clarity can make an already difficult situation even more challenging — especially for victims of sexual assault, incest and domestic violence.

The Navajo Police Training Academy last week awarded certificates to the first group of graduates of a new women’s empowerment program focusing on self-defense, situational awareness and assault prevention.

The Southwest Indigenous Women’s Coalition (SWIWC) has presented Navajo Nation Madam Chair Amber Kanazbah Crotty with the prestigious Eleanor E. Roehrig Advodate Award. Crotty was recognized for her commitment and respect in responding to Indigenous survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

This month the Navajo Nation hopes to increase prevention, raise awareness and acknowledge victims of sexual assault, sexual abuse and harassment.

Governor Doug Ducey signed legislation this week to ensure victims of sex crimes are not charged for any part of the medical or forensic examination related to the crime. Ducey also recently signed a law banning abortions after 15 weeks which makes no exemptions for victims of rape or incest.
