Expert Profile: Kim

Expertise:  I am a survivor. I know what it’s like to be the victim. I am now a Sexual Assault Victim’s Care Advocate. I have been certified as such since November 2000. I am currently a student who is specializing in trauma and abuse and the associated disorders and illnesses.
I am a survivor. So, I not only have book smarts but, personal experience with what rape is and how much it affects the victim and his or her loved ones.

What do you like about this subject?  There is nothing to like about rape. I do like however, that I can help other victims re-learn their bodies, and take back their lives after being raped.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I am a continuing student. There is always new information and support groups and networks. In fact, just recently an online hotline was launched.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  You should not have been drinking or should not have worn those clothes.. that you asked for "it", No.... No you never deserve to be raped and it is never your fault.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Nothing interesting about rape, but beauty in surviving and learning to live again with the help of a friend.
