I was one of the people who[ emailed RAINN about the definitions and statistics used on their website on the 15th. A few hours ago I received the following response:

Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions (and our apologies for not replying sooner).

One of our core values is our commitment to help all survivors of all forms of sexual violence, regardless of gender. This is a crime that is perpetrated by both women and men, and it has impacted millions of Americans of every gender/gender identity. We strive to take a balanced approach in reference to gender when applicable on our website, in our programming, or when dealing with the media.

Still, we know there is always room for improvement. So we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention and want to let you know that we’re taking them seriously. We are currently working on an overhaul of our entire website, and will pay special attention to the statistics, definitions and language that we use. We are also finishing up a large project that will provide much more detailed, state-by-state definitions of rape and sexual assault. We expect to add this feature to our website later this spring.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and suggestions — and, most importantly, for your concern for survivors.

RAINN

Seems like a positive sign. Anybody else get a reply?
