Fighting for the safety of women & children...

RINJ RSAC


Women's health care is a primary field-level function of RINJ Women. We found that preventing rape, for example, is a never ending dream but caring for survivors is a true reality that is greatly needed. In this work we developed a nurse-led system of health care providing women's services in the areas where those are most needed. That turned out to be war zones and any other regions where women are most vulnerable.
RSAC (RINJ Sexual Assault Clinics) were born from special needs. They are Nurses Without Borders Community Health Team medical clinics or mobile teams treating women, children and their families in war zones and refugee camps in Middle East Asia, some South American nations, South East Asia, in Africa and in spontaneous response regions like Palestine where acute needs of women become apparent whenever widespread hostilities resume.


RSAC Community Health-Team Nurse Standards of Practice
  1. In the conduct of its mandate RINJ Nurses Without Borders learned the best way to achieve the unit's objectives is to offer OB/GYN care to the community served by RSAC mobile or fixed units and to establish long-term relationships with female and child clients for the purpose of establishing and understanding in absolute privacy the complete range of needs and the timing of needs by the client/patient. Any patient seen at our doorstep can be assumed to be a general health care patient and not a rape survivor. RINJ Women are focussed on women and children, not just rape survivors but gained its reputation from combatting gender-based-violence.
  2. Patients who report sexual assault crimes are canvassed for as much information as possible about perpetrators so that any assistance they may provide is made available to investigators. All communication is absolutely private. The patient has the option of reporting the crime and seeking a prosecution in which they will participate. If that is the patient's decision the nurse follows the prescribed intake and forensic evidence collection procedure as set out in pre-intake, primary exam and forensic kit protocols. https://rinj.org/documents/medical_forms/
  3. RINJ is pioneering "Team-Based Health Care". Mobile RSAC Team Leads are most likely to be an RN (Registered Nurse) but regionally they report to and are delegated by a Nurse Practitioner (NP). NPs are an integral part of The RINJ Foundations primary care teams strategy and lead the move to team-based medical practice in community settings.
  4. NPs are especially effective in refugee and combat regions as well as rural settings where there are shortages of doctors, and with patients who suffer a multitude of chronic illnesses and are ill-suited for a traditional seven-minute doctor's appointment.

The RSACs offer free medical care to women, children and their families. Community related services such as victim advocacy, crisis hotlines, community outreach, & education programs are provided based on each RSAC's resources at the discretion of the local RSAC Nurses Without Borders team.

The-RINJ-Foundation-Sexual-Assault-Clinics



The RINJ Women's health care nurses and midwives at Dedicated and specialized sexual assault clinics, RSAC-nurses.org facilities provide a full range of outpatient & walk-in services to rape survivors, sexual assault & gender-based violence of other types of violence against women and girls. Some RSACs offer periodical educational & counseling services inside hospitals, community centers, refugee camps, & learning institutes.
In the Middle East, hundreds of RINJ Women midwives visit communities and homes where pregnant women await the happy day when their midwife will visit to assist her delivery of the new family member.
This is a joyous occasion for families and communities and the assistance of an OB/GYN-trained and remotely supported midwife who is fully learned in the cultural aspects of home and facility birthing in the Middle East makes the family experience a safe one with plenty of support in the event of complications.
Where complications are expected home birth is only an emergency option and the mother-to-be is escalated to a pre-planned and well-prepared facilty capable of dealing with the predicted complications. These are all free services within the RINJ Women's facilities or control. In the event of our practitioner escalating a case to a public or private hospital, financial assistance is usually available.

Missing Persons

In certain RSAC operations it is possible our workers have contact with missing persons such as HTS/al Qaeda/ISIL War Brides and other exploited women. If you believe you are missing such a family member you are invited to dialogue with us so that we may ascertain what if any information we can share.

Our goal is to find benefit for patients and in the case of minor children or youth, to see that they are if possible returned to the safety of their home. Follow this link for more information or simply contact us here. The RSAC is caring for patients in absolute privacy and that is the first priority.

Nurses Without Borders RSACs Leverage Modern Health Care Technology and years of experience

satellite data communications connect all RSAC patient records from any RSAC. Satellite data networks securely access encrypted RSAC patient records from any RSAC location and VSee /TeleHealth medical video conferencing is available in some cases with remote medical and surgical specialists.

The Mid-East Two Finger Virginity Test is a Form of Rape

Persons (men) asking for a so-called "virginity" test of their female family members are refused and warned of the consequences of attempting such (Middle East Two Finger Test is a form of rape) acts of sexual violence themselves.

"Virginity Test requests come often enough to mention the issue. Patient privacy is absolute.

The so-called Middle East two-finger virginity test that was much debated in the 1980s is a criminal offence defined as rape: "the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."

The Examination and Forensic Evidence Collection Kit (Rape Kit)

Sadly, unless a rape kit is completed and the data sent to a forensic health and human services type laboratory, no rape occurred in most countries' courts. In the Philippines and three other Southeast Asia nations the decision of courts we have witnessed when based on evidence of witnesses such as 'he-says' vs 'she-says' the male judges favour what he says. So unless there are unbiased witnesses to the rape plus a video of the crime, go to a hospital urgent care center or to a rape clinc and do a forensic rape kit. At that time practitioners can protect survivors from pregnancy and from most diseases, sometimes with follow up visits. The rape kit will prove with DNA evidence, if collected, the identity of the rapist.
Rape kit = Sexual assault evidence collection kits; sexual assault forensic evidence (SAFE) kits; Sexual offence evidence collection (SOEC) kits; or Physical Evidence Recovery Kits (PERK)
The rape exam serves two goals: first to provide the best immediate care for the survivor, and second to collect evidence that may be used to prosecute the crime. RINJ-Foundation-rape-kit-application

In order to collect evidence, a survivor must seek treatment at a clinic within 120 hours of an assault.
  • The survivor is in control of the entire exam. Before each step of the Kit, the RSAC nurse will explain the step and ask the survivor if they wish to continue. Nothing will be done that the survivor does not agree to.
  • A rape exam is usually done by the RSCA nurse; sometimes it will be done by a doctor.
  • The exam may take several hours. During the exam, the RSAC nurse must remain with the evidence kit at all times.
  • The survivor can give the RSAC nurse a verbal account of the assault. This will tell the RSAC nurse where to look for evidence on the survivor's body.
  • As mentioned earlier a physical exam is performed to assess, document, and treat physical injuries like bruises, lacerations and broken bones.
  • the RSAC nurse may collect samples from the survivor's mouth, vaginal and/or anal cavities, fingernails, and other parts of the body that the rapist touched during the assault.
  • the RSAC nurse will ask the survivor if he or she had sex with anyone in the past five days (who may also have left behind DNA).
  • If there are signs that the survivor may have been drugged, a 'toxicology kit' may be collected (blood and urine samples).
  • Some garments may be collected as evidence during the RSAC rape exam.

Who are the "RINJ Women"

We are the (Rape Is No Joke) RINJ Women who fought in the 2000s to get the money-making pro-rape and child sex slavery content off social media platforms, ending on 4 November 2011. Some of us collectively decided to continue our work for the universal rights of women and girls. We incorporated on 21 August 2012 after years of fighting as a grass roots organization called The RINJ Campaign. We have no restrictions. That's our story. We move forward striving for gender equality universally despite the setbacks that have been experienced globally, and despite the attacks of misogynistic authoritarians.
