Petty Officer 2nd Class Courtney Veiga, a Naval Health Clinic Charleston sexual assault victim advocate, sorts through new clothes donated for victims of sexual assault. As part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a clothing bin will remain in the NHCC atrium throughout April for those who choose to donate new women’s clothing to go to the Medical University of South Carolina Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner department. The MUSC SANE department provides forensic exams to victims of sexual assault. Many times during these exams a victim’s clothing must be taken as evidence leaving the victim with nothing to wear. The clothing items donated will provide survivors of sexual assault the ability to leave the hospital in something other than a hospital gown, providing them with both dignity and anonymity. The SANE Department is only requesting donations of women’s clothing as they are well stocked on men’s clothing at this time. Clothing being donated includes items such as athletic shorts, t-shirts, under garments and sweat suits. Clothing drives are also taking place at various commands on JB Charleston.
