So I would love to see survivors and nurses and lawyers and technologists and everybody coming together to really talk about how we could make the kit now much more resilient, what we could do with all these new tools we have. There's so much evidence now that's digital. Like, how could that be brought together with the biological evidence?

The interesting thing about the rape kit, as we talked about before, it's often sort of just not looked at. You know, and I just, if there's one thing I can do, I want readers to think about it and look at it and wonder how it could be better.

Sure. So Marty Goddard, in her various interviews, talks about how she... went around to the usual sources of money, which would be, you know, the fancy funding groups where people meet up in golf clubs, I suppose, or country clubs. And, you know, it's all very well-heeled. And, you know, back then, you did not say the word rape in polite society.

And so none of those groups wanted anything to do with this. So she really had trouble finding a funder. And there was a woman she had met when she was volunteering at the hotline named Margaret Standish, who's now Margaret Pokorny. And Margaret was working for the Playboy Foundation then, and so offered up the idea that you should try to apply, see whether Hugh Hefner's foundation will fund you.

Because oddly enough, Hefner was funding, he was very much about sexual liberation and even women's empowerment. And in the end, that's where she got her first funding from.

Exactly. I mean, I think, you know, but to his credit, he was funding a lot of women's rights groups and pushing for women's health initiatives. But yes, it did very much fit into his soft core porn empire to enable women to be, you know, sexually liberated and out there as swinging singles.

Yeah, so it was, you know, by the end of the 70s, the... There was a wide swath of hospitals that were offering these rape kits with the forensic exam. And then Marty Goddard began going to New York and helping the police department in New York to set up their own program. And then later in the 80s, this is where I think she really began to burn out in a lot of ways.
