Callisto Vault available for Sexual Assault Survivors

Many thanks to the Director of Programs and Strategic Engagement for reaching out to send me this:

Callisto is a nonprofit organization and third-party resource that uses technology to empower survivors of sexual violence. The organization exists to address a critical problem - 90% of assaults are committed by repeat offenders and serial offenders assault an average of 6 times before graduating college. Callisto Vault is a suite of tools designed to help survivors of sexual assault engage in collective action and define their own pathways toward healing and justice. We offer two tools within Callisto Vault: the Matching System and Encrypted Record Form. 

• Enter into the Matching System: Survivors can learn if another person has been harmed by the same offender by entering the offender’s unique identifiers into Callisto’s Matching System. When a “Match” is detected, survivors are able to meet with a Legal Options Counselor who will explain their options and facilitate collective action, while protecting survivor privacy.

• Create an Incident Log: Survivors can document the details of their incident in an encrypted and timestampled electronic record form as they decide what to do next. 

Callisto Vault is a free resource for anyone with a .edu email address at Notre Dame, Saint Mary's, and Holy Cross. They can create an account today with the use of their .edu email address. No information entered into the system is accessible to the University or Callisto staff through their state-of-the-art encryption software.
