My Personal Declaration of Independence

Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for the government to disbands both the bleakness and the dishonorable that exists within the corrupt justice's system. the system is broken despite the power we have of DNA to solve and prevent crimes, we still have hundreds of thousands of kits from people that have report they have been sexual assaulted — containing potentially crucial DNA evidence in each state — decades of untested kits in abandoned storage buildings and labs across the country. Each of these rape kits represents a survivor who is still hoping for justice.

the people of the United States of America enforce that everyone has the right to a fair trial, have the rights to be heard by a competent, that they are endowed by their creators with certain unalienable rights. That within these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that too secure these rights given, our government will ensure that our justice system will be closely scrutinize. We should no longer suffer. The history of wrongfully treated sexual assault survivors that are being unheard. To prove this, these facts portrayed below shall give testimony to all:

• They forced us to feel accountable for what happen
• They made us feel unimportant
• They left our kits in abandoned Warehouse like we were nothing
• They made everyone feel invalid
• They only took action depending on our skin color
• They only took action if we were wealthy.
• They asked inappropriate question
• They never followed up in the case, causing many others to suffer in the same way
• They gave us a lost of hope in the justice system
• They denied to continue the investigation because of what we were wearing, because of
• Of the time we were out in the street, because we didn’t fight harder, because we didn’t
• Say Enough “No” even though one “NO” means no and there is no need to say it more
• Than once for someone to understand
• They believe violence against women is a low priority
• They will find excuses to not go to court
• They made us live in fear

We need to bringing much needed attention to the disturbing part of how the criminal justice system has treated sexual assault survivors. And alarm people that we have more than 107,035 rape kits untested still around the world.

We seek to send a loud and very clear messaged to survivors that they are important! That their perpetrator will be held accountable for their actions and that they're not just a kit nor a box but a person. This is the historic nature of the way we treat are assault victims and the crime of sexual assault in this country, and the positive effects that occur when perpetrators are held accountable for their actions and survivors are given an opportunity for healing and justice. To also send a message of regardless of what happened can move past it, they can grow and change for the better.
