A collaboration team, called Illinois Imagines, created the Our Rights, Right Now Toolkit
to guide disability service agencies and rape crisis centers as they respond to women
with disabilities who experience sexual violence. The guide includes an introduction to
the issue of sexual violence against women with disabilities, information specific to
each discipline and tools for service provider agencies to share with women with
disabilities.
This Toolkit is one key product of the strategic planning process. It contains the
resources to: 1) foster local collaborations among disability service agencies and rape
crisis centers, 2) train workers in disability service agencies and rape crisis centers to
improve their response to women with disabilities who experience sexual violence, and
3) equip service providers with the tools to inform women with disabilities about their
rights and options.
