As of now, the account for hospital visits to women who wish to submit the exam is empty. Therefore, women are expected to pay for the kits themselves. CMU Sexual Assault Services will try, but there is no guarantee that funds will be available for every victim, McCarthy said. Physical education and sport Associate Professor Steve Thompson, founder of Sexual Assault Peer Advocates, said it is very difficult to get money with so many other organizations also lobbying for funding. A major problem is that people do not think about the monetary issues concerning rape victims, he said.
People automatically assume that it is covered.
Thompson applauds the efforts of the four men who are fighting for a cause he cares about. I think that it is an admirable thing for anybody to do, let alone a group of men. Society thinks of this as just a problem for women. Because it is men who commit this crime, only men can prevent it. McCarthy said society needs to take more action.
