The Joyful Heart Foundation is committed to raising awareness about the rape kit backlog and our community's collected response to survivors of sexual violence. Click here to read about recent and upcoming events.

Thousands of survivors have been affected by the backlog of untested rape kits. Read more about their experiences as they seek both healing and justice. Visit the Backlog Blog to hear and share their stories.

Together we can work to end the rape kit backlog and improve our collective response to survivors of sexual violence. Learn more, join us, spread the word, advocate for change, and support our efforts in our action center.
