Pennsylvania doubles dollars devoted to rape crisis centers
Pennsylvania has increased funding for rape crisis centers from $12.1 million to $24.1 million, reversing years of stagnant support and addressing staffing challenges caused by a previous budget impasse. Advocates and political leaders, including Gabriella Romeo and Sadie Sterner, praised the investment as a victory for survivors of sexual violence.
