East Tennessee is almost finished clearing its rape kit backlog, with only about 20 kits to go and a much faster processing time.
Washington state has declared that its rape kits backlog is "essentially eliminated” after processing more than 30,000 kits over the past decade .
Actor Mariska Hargitay has been at the forefront of the movement to eliminate rape kit processing in the U.S ..
Rape kits contain a wealth of information beyond just DNA that can aid investigators in determining which parts of the victim's and assailant's narrative are backed up by evidence.
Despite more rape kits being tested, convictions are still hard to come by and many survivors don't find justice.
Survivors deserve to have their rape kits processed in a timely manner.
