Building an Ethical Organization
In April 2009 construction will begin on the corner of Pier and Locust Streets for the Sexual Assault Victim's Educational Safe Haven (SAVES). According to the U.S. Department of Justice (2009), a sexual assault happens once every two minutes. When these assaults occur, where do the victims turn for assistance? Currently there is no central location for these victims. Student , the director of SAVES, is hoping to fill this void in the community by centering many services victims need all under one roof. The SAVES building will be operated by a non-profit victim's advocacy organization and will offer counseling, educational programs, legal advice and much more.
