YWCA’s Silicon Valley’s Primary Rape Crisis Center Hotline says they have seen an increase in phone calls since the “Me Too” movement began.
Phone calls into domestic violence and sexual assault hotline are up 20 percent, according to the center.
CEO Tanis Crosby of the YWCA says it’s not clear if the Supreme Court hearings have encouraged people to come forward.
“It’s a crime that ought to be investigated and that lawmakers and people who sit on the highest court in the land ought to be seeking justice for victims of crime,” Crosby says.
Outside of the hotline call center are messages showing support and thanks from survivors who have found justice or just needed someone to listen and trust their story.
The center says it’s never too late to report a sexual assault.
