Corbett Budget Includes More Funding for Rape Crisis



Advocacy groups met with Governor Tom Corbett in Philadelphia on Thursday to announce his 2013-14 budget proposal to increase funding for rape crisis services and prevention education.
 
 
Rape crisis centers serve more than 30,000 individuals in Pennsylvania each year. They also operate more than 25,000 school-based prevention programs and nearly 3,000 community prevention programs.
 

The funds would assist with emergency services such as a 24/7 hotline; financial aid; referral services to other community programs; accompaniment to police, hospital or court appointments; victim advocacy; and both primary and at-risk prevention programs.
