Caring for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Victims

vid_domestic_violenceStarting in 2001, grants from The Duke Endowment helped combat domestic violence in South Carolina and North Carolina.

Health care providers play a critical role in helping domestic violence and sexual assault victims receive needed medical care and in gathering evidence used by the court system to help prevent abusers from striking again. To care for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, The Duke Endowment granted more than $9.5 million between 2000 and 2005 to help hospitals respond more effectively to medical needs and forensic exams.
