📚 BATP's Book Recommendation! 📚

We’re highlighting an important and eye-opening true crime story this month: The Secret History of the R**e Kit: A True Crime Story
By Pagan Kennedy

This powerful book uncovers the untold story of Marty Goddard, the woman whose relentless advocacy led to the creation of the modern r**e kit — a vital tool in holding perpetrators accountable and empowering survivors.

Kennedy’s work sheds light on the history of forensic evidence in sexual assault cases and the fight for justice that continues today.

At Bay Area Turning Point, we are committed to advocating for survivors and educating the community about the importance of these advancements.

💜 Check it out and learn more about this groundbreaking story!

🐾 It’s National Pet Day, and while many are celebrating their furry companions, we’re shining a light on a critical truth:

💔 25% of abuse survivors stay in dangerous situations out of fear for their pet’s safety.

At Bay Area Turning Point, we know pets are family—and no one should have to choose between personal safety and protecting the animals they love.

That’s why we created Safe PAWS, a program in collaboration with the City of Webster, to help survivors escape abuse without leaving their pets behind. 💜

If you or someone you know needs support, we’re here.

Power imbalances in romantic relationships can significantly affect the validity of consent. Factors such as age differences, financial dependency, professional authority, and emotional manipulation may compromise a partner's autonomy. It's crucial for the more powerful partner to recognize these dynamics and take steps to ensure mutual respect and informed consent. Open communication and proactive measures can help manage these imbalances and protect the integrity of the relationship.
