Recently, the actress collaborated with prosecutor Kym Worthy in Michigan, USA, to address a huge backlog of 11,000 abuse kits that were languishing in an evidence room.
These kits, which contain instructions and equipment to conduct forensic examinations and gather evidence when someone reports abuse, were stalling the progress of cases. Mariska Hargitay played a key role in helping to raise the necessary funds to process these kits.
Thanks to the efforts of the actress and the prosecutor, 22 perpetrators have been identified. The work of these women is bringing positive changes to police departments and prosecutors’ offices across the country.
