In this week's episode, Editor Gary Castor chats with Angela Hirsch the executive director of the Rape and Abuse Crisis Service (RACS), a non-profit organization in Jefferson City, Missouri.
Hirsch explains that RACS serves survivors of various forms of abuse and trafficking, offering 24/7 services including counseling, emergency shelter, and advocacy. The interview also sheds light on Denim Day, an international awareness effort that originated from a 1992 Italian court case where a rape conviction was overturned due to the victim wearing tight jeans. Finally, Hirsch discusses RACS fundraising efforts, such as a golf tournament, and encourages community support through volunteering or financial contributions, emphasizing that survivors are not alone and that consent is paramount.
