THE EVIDENTIARY ABUSE AFFIDAVIT
empowering victims to securely document their experiences.
Until now, victims have been told:
Report Abuse - but action is only taken if you can show evidence.
Go to a shelter - if one is available.
Get a restraining order - usually only granted if there is evidence of the abuse.
Move away - leave behind careers, family, friends and assets.
Stay with someone else - if there is someone who can be trusted.
Stalking laws are often weak and poorly defined.
Current responses do not always help a victim to document their situations and specifics of the abuse or the abuser. Outside of a police report or restraining order, documentation has still not occurred. In case of future serious injury, a victim goes missing or is killed, nothing exists to link them to their experiences.
