Tribal Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination Protocol

This project is currently underway. Red Wind is working closely with practitioners from the field and the Office on Violence Against Women in the creation of this document for OVW. Through meetings, conference calls and numerous communications with tribal sexual assault advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors and health care practitioners, the protocol is becoming a tool that can be used by tribes and critical partners responding to Native victims of sexual assault.

We can expect the protocol to be completed by early 2010.

Red Wind recently facilitated two (2) Round Table discussions for OVW exploring topics pertinent to the development and implementation of transitional housing and supervised visitation programs in Indian Country. More details will follow.
