Officers Margie Pillsbury and Maureen Burke of the U-M Department of Public Safety and Security Special Victims Unit explain why the SVU was created and what steps they take to assist those who have experienced sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, or abuse. Pillsbury and Burke share how important it is to raise awareness about sexual assault so that more survivors feel comfortable coming forward, and discuss how individuals should respond if a survivor discloses an assault to them.
