How the Abby Honold Act is Changing Police Response to Survivors | Ep 28
Update: 2025-11-13
Description
Abby Honold reported her rape in 2014. But instead of receiving support, she was met with disbelief, threats of being charged for false reporting, and a justice system that failed her at every turn.
She didn’t stop there.
Abby went on to fight for systemic change, and helped pass The Abby Honold Act, a federal bill aimed at training law enforcement in trauma-informed response to survivors of sexual violence.
In this episode, Abby shares:
- What happened when she reported, and how she finally got justice
- Why trauma-informed police response matters so deeply for victims
- How the bill was written, passed, and what it means for survivors across the U.S.
- What she wants every advocate, attorney, and survivor to know
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone working in law, policy, victim services - or anyone who believes survivors deserve better.
