Black Women Matter

Denisha was a Military Police Officer who was assaulted by 4 other Military Police Officers, then 21 days later found dead.  But the military says no assault occurred.  Watch here and decide for yourself. 

Military Ruled it a Suicide

The Military ruled her death a suicide PRIOR to investigating.  But after completing the investigation, what they told the family shakes the conscience.  Watch Here.

Mission

To empower survivors of sexual violence by helping them find their voice and overcome barriers to obtaining justice, all while disrupting the cultural stigma surrounding the disclosures of these crimes.  

How do we do this?

We have 2 main focus areas

1) Legal Advocacy 

2) Empowerment Protocol 

Check out our Empowerment protocol

As you process trauma through the mind, you also have to process it through the body.  Through yoga, integrative rest, and re-training of the nervous system, we will help guide you on this journey.

What happened to Denisha?

  • Denisha was found dead on August 9, 2022 in Germany. That same day, the military reached out to the family and told them that Denisha killed herself. On July 19, 2022, twenty-one days earlier, Denisha called her family and stated that she had been beaten very badly and strangled by other Military Police Officers. After this attempted murder, she asked that her family record the video call, and her injuries were visible on the recording. She indicated that she feared for her life and was scared.
  • Her parents then called the Red Cross and put in an urgent message because they feared for their daughter’s life. Twenty-one days later, she was found dead.  She reported the assault to her chain of command immediately after it occurred, but they did not investigate. Denisha messaged her family and told them that she was just trying to keep her head down until she returned home. She even packed her bags and sent pictures of her packed bags to her family. 
  • We have provided this evidence to the military indicating that Denisha did not take her own life. Despite this, they seem to only want to know what Denisha’s mental health was like at the time of her death. We do not believe that they are taking her death seriously and treating her life as if it were forfeit.
  • Consequently, we are asking that the FBI to take over this case so that this investigation is not compromised further.

Rolling Stone Reports

She Asked the Army to Investigate a Rape Trial. They Fired Her

Our Executive Director used to work for Special Operations Command.  And when she reported that Delta Force was covering up rape, she was fired.  


But that didn't stop her.  She founded Combat Sexual Assault to help address these systemic issues.  


We took on Delta Force, so you can be sure that we can take on whatever action that you are facing.

Victim Advocates speak out

PBS reports that the military needs to remove the chain of command from deciding the fate of those accused of sexual assault in the military.  We agree.  Listen to what our Advocates are saying.
