SUMMARY:Champion for Justice Awards Presentation: Rep. Rebecca Raymer
DESCRIPTION:\n \nBOWLING GREEN, KY – May 28, 2025 – The Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs (KASAP) will present Representative Rebecca Raymer (District 15) with its Champion for Justice Award in a public ceremony at Med Center Health in Bowling Green. \nRaymer, who represents Butler and Muhlenberg Counties, sponsored two critical pieces of legislation in the 2025 session aimed at strengthening Kentucky’s response to sexual violence in emergency settings: \n\nHB219 amends KRS 216B.400 to require mandatory training for emergency department staff on sexual assault response protocols, developed in collaboration with the state’s Sexual Assault Response Team Advisory Committee. \n\n\nHSC 20 directs the Legislative Research Commission to study geographic gaps in access to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) and barriers to forensic exams in emergency departments. \n\n“These legislative victories represent a significant step forward in equitable, trauma-informed care, especially for rural hospitals and the survivors they serve,” said Jenna Cassady, KASAP Staff Attorney. \nThe Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs (KASAP) proudly presents the Champion for Justice Award to a legislator who has demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to transforming the response to sexual violence in Kentucky. This prestigious award honors lawmakers who have made significant, impactful changes that uplift and support survivors of sexual violence. \nRecipients of the Champion for Justice Award are recognized for their tireless advocacy, innovative policy initiatives, and dedication to creating systemic change that improves the lives of survivors. Their work reflects a deep commitment to justice, empowerment, and healing, ensuring that Kentucky’s response to sexual violence is both compassionate and effective. \nThe award presentation will be held at Med Center Health, a SANE-Ready facility in Bowling Green. \nEvent Details: \nLocation: Med Center Health Western Kentucky Heart & Lung \n421 U.S. 31 W Bypass \nBowling Green, KY 42103\n3rd Floor Atrium \nDate: Wednesday, May 28 \nTime: 10:00 AM Central\n
