Journal Article
Accessibility of Pennsylvania's Victim Assistance Programs
2006
Overview
The prevalence of sexual abuse and domestic violence among women with disabilities is at least as high as the rates experienced by women without disabilities. However, according to anecdotal accounts and preliminary research, many victim service agencies are inaccessible and do not provide appropriate support and services for people with disabilities. This study examined the physical and programmatic accessibility of 55 rape crisis, sexual assault, and domestic violence agencies throughout Pennsylvania. Findings suggest that most programs had several accessibility structures in place, such as ramps and accessible restrooms. However, fewer programs had less well-known physical and programmatic accessibility features in place to ensure equal access to services. Recommendations focus on cross-system collaboration to provide access to victim services by all victims, including those with disabilities.
