Ohio lawmakers added a record-breaking $30 million for crisis rape centers in the state budget for 2024 and 2025, which was officially enacted on Wednesday.
"Sexual violence is a bipartisan issue," said Rosa Beltre, CEO of the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence."[N]o one is exempt, and we are grateful our lawmakers understood that."The budget signed by Gov Mike DeWine on Wednesday appropriates $15 million annually to centers across all 88 counties that provide survivor services, including physical and mental support and treatment.
Ohio has historically contributed less money than other states to special victims' advocacy organizations. This line item in the budget makes a 105% increase from the estimated $7.3 million to be spent in 2023. In 2021, Ohio's Children Advocacy Centers reported handling 8,890 cases of abuse of minors, 76% of which were instances of sexual abuse. The Ohio Department of Health reported in 2020 that 52 girls under the age of 15 had sought an abortion, which some use as an indicator of child sexual abuse.
