However, I think defining the term &#39;Unit Victim&#39;s Advocate,&#39; right here and right now, is actually very important. I am sure that there are more people on Rally Point with more up to date information or experience on a Unit Victim&#39;s Advocate to define it better than me. I hope they will comment. <br /><br />The Victim&#39;s Advocate is a civilian appendage that law enforcement officers use after a survivor of a violent sexual assault or rape reports the incident to authorities. Victim&#39;s advocates are trained to &#39;build a bridge&#39; with the victim to ensure that support is created, evidence of a crime is collected, and the perpetrator is brought to justice. <br /><br />I think it is very fair to ask an additional question: what happens when government assumes the role of a Victim&#39;s Advocate or assumes the role of a law enforcement officer who may be trained to respond to a survivor of violent sexual assault or rape? 2018-09-23T17:55:13-04:00 CPT Private RallyPoint Member 3988589

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Maybe some republican politicians, starting with our president, should take advantage of the expertise of a victim advocate so they don&#39;t tweet out shit like &quot;if it was a bad as she says, she would have called the police&quot; or another who said&quot;she is mistaken&quot; or &quot;why should this matter because it didn&#39;t end up going anywhere&quot; meaning she didn&#39;t actually get raped so what&#39;s the big deal. And lastly, how politicized is it when the republican leadership states that Kavanaugh will absolutely be confirmed after the hearing? They state up front that it doesn&#39;t matter what the woman says, how believable she is, that it won&#39;t make any difference anyway.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Honestly, I have nothing of substance to contribute to this thread. I just find it interesting that the dozens of essay-writers obnoxiously responding to my recent posts are completely ignoring this one.
