The Joyful Heart Foundation estimates there are roughly 49,248 untested kits nationwide based on reporting from available states through their END THE BACKLOG initiative. 34826
Reposted by Zezette's sisterSassy0210 @sassy0210.bsky.social · 15hIn September of 1978 kits were sent to 25 Chicago hospitals. By the end of the next year, nearly 3,000 kits had been turned over to crime labs. Then the Justice Department paid Goddard to travel the country setting up protocols in other hospitals. 13812

Then, Goddard sought funding. The Playboy Foundation gave her $10K. They gave her office space in Chicago and had volunteers assemble the kits. 23815

The first time she approached Luis Vitullo, the Chicago Crime Lab director to present the idea to him, witnesses say he screamed at her. He eventually agreed, but Goddard’s own non-profit trademarked it under his name. 12811

Women were being asked for proof. And no one had bothered to make sure the proof was collected properly. So, Marty Goddard designed a box. 23516

Some of these girls went to the hospital, but there was no standard of care in place. Some hospitals took swabs, some didn’t. 13313

In Chicago, early 1970s, about 16,000 women were being raped in a year. When women went to the police they weren’t believed. 814291
