Washington State Attorney General’s Office Launches Statewide Seek Then Speak Website

Seek Then Speak EVAWI Washington State Attorney Generals Office

The Washington State Attorney General’s Office in partnership with End Violence Against Women International has launched SeekThenSpeakWA.com — a new website offering Washington-specific resources to support adult sexual assault survivors and their loved ones.

This site promotes Seek Then Speak, an interactive tool developed by EVAWI to help survivors explore options, gather information, and, if they choose, begin the process of reporting to law enforcement or connecting with support services.

Several Washington communities — including Pullman, Seattle, Spokane, the University of Washington, Washington State University, and Yakima — have already implemented Seek Then Speak locally. With this new statewide launch, survivors anywhere in Washington can now access the tool and connect with resources tailored to their location and needs.

Seek

The Seek portion of “Seek then Speak” provides anyone impacted by sexual assault with a way to privately gather information and explore options for medical care, supportive services, and reporting to police. Learn about the role of a victim advocate, sexual assault nurse examiner, and law enforcement officer and find answers to commonly asked questions. Seek was developed as a national resource, scroll below for Washington-specific information and resources.

Speak

The Speak portion of “Seek then Speak” facilitates a detailed, self-guided questionnaire to document what happened and is intended for victims and survivors aged 18 and above. Survivors can choose to save the PDF for reference later or email it to the law enforcement agency where the assault happened to initiate a formal report. For privacy, data is cleared after the PDF has been created.

For those looking to access the resource or learn more about the program, they can visit SeekThenSpeakWa.com via the “Access the Resource” below.
