‣ Impartiality & neutrality are not equal to silence. When RINJ witnesses extreme acts of violence against individuals or groups, the organisation may speak out publicly. RINJ may seek to bring attention to extreme need and unacceptable suffering when access to justice or lifesaving medical care is impeded, when medical facilities come under threat, when crises are neglected, or when the provision of aid is inadequate or abused.

About The RINJ Foundation

RINJ operates 100% on funds from individual private funders to ensure RINJ
* freedom to offer humanitarian assistance when & where needed; &
* maintain RINJ independence from political, religious & economic influence.
RINJ has numerous operational service units purpose-built and managed to achieve its goal (see about) to protect children & their families from violence. The RINJ Foundation began with the mantra "RapeIsNoJoke" as a women's group campaign opposed to gender-based violence (rape) & expanded at a furious rate of growth.
  • The RINJ Foundation's clinics, investigators & nurses provide health care & justice for survivors in areas of armed-conflict, displaced person settlements & in refugee camps.
  • We educate the world about sexual violence, misogyny & rape culture (Rape culture includes jokes, TV, music, advertising, legal jargon, laws, words and imagery that make violence against women and sexual coercion seem so normal.) in the context of human rights, the rule of law & a more sophisticated discussion in a gender-equal environment.
  • We monitor, collect evidence, investigate & prepare prosecutions against actors who commit or order the commission of sexual violence as a tactic of war to humiliate, dominate, instill fear in, disperse and/or forcibly relocate civilian members of a community or ethnic group.
  • Our volunteers and staff monitor and report on global court and legislative proceedings related to gender equality, rape, & sexual assault crime and by whatever means available, particularly education, strive for change towards gender equality and a higher adherence to safe community standards.

Thought for today
We've been around long enough to gain the wisdom to know that amid the buzz, it is still dedication, steadfast commitment to goals, and quality of effort that drives results. We get results and earn the respect we enjoy. The RINJ Foundation



Rape(RSAC) Surgical(TRF-RSC) & HealthCare(TRF-RHC) Clinics

RSAC (RINJ Sexual Assault Clinics) are Nurse-led sexual assault clinics medically treating rape survivors in combat zones and sexual violence survivors in refugee camps Asia and Africa. RSACs in combat zones or refugee camps also perform rape kits and investigate & report the occurance of gender-based violence & sexual violence in war zones. Read more about rape as a war crime.
The Nurses Without Borders
Free medical care in The Rinj Foundation Remote Health Care Clinics (TRF-RHC) is offered to women and children in areas of dire need around the world. Narrow specialty RINJ Sexual Assault Clinics (RSAC) work well in major cities as out-of-sight treatment clinics existing for the purpose of caring for survivors and performing forensic evidence collection for police and court services. In many developing nations of the world this concept does not work for cultural reasons. The RINJ Foundation found it effective to provide basic health care in regions of armed conflict and refugee camps. Caring for survivors of rape as a war crime (Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court) has become a significant operational unit of The RINJ Foundation. Learn more about RSAC Nurses Without Borders.

Community related services such as victim advocacy, crisis hotlines, community outreach, & extensive public health education programs are provided based on each RSAC's resources at the discretion of the local RSAC nurse-led team. Learn more about this operational unit in the context of actual projects like Sinjar and Rojava.

The RINJ Foundation - Remote Surgical Clinics(TRF-RSC) support groups of TRF-RHC units as transportable basic surgery, regional centers performing routine minor and emergency major surgeries while connected to a telehealth diagnostic center. These are the largest mobile units we operate built into 40ft recycled steel shipping containers.

Rape Kits

Rape Kits are used to gather forensic information about the sexual violence crime. The RINJ Foundation raises funds for the purchase of 'rape kits' (also known as physical evidence recovery kits [PERK]; sexual offence evidence collection [SOEC] kits) and/or the funding of rape kit testing. Medical professionals complete sexual assault forensic evidence kits which must be quickly tested with results sent to police & prosecutors.

The RINJ Foundation advocates a global age of consent of 16 years of age.

Looking at the extremes in age of consent.

The ages of 12/13 are (i.e.: Korea, Paraguay, Philippines, Malta) extremely dangerous. This immature age is a borderline child-bearing age where pregnancy would likely kill child and baby in a significant percentile of the population. Informed consent seems impossible and puberty may not have been attained at this age. The State has a significant burden of responsibility to help parents protect children and fails on that burden when encouraging sex with such young children.

The imposed age of consent of 18 to 21 is pretentious, draconian patriarchal law with one purpose only: oppressing young women. Lawmakers of these laws intend to make young women the chattels of the state or the family and community.

Sixteen years of age should be the age of consent globally and that would apply to any person no matter who they have sex with. Defining age of consent on the basis of same versus opposite sex coupling is another violation of the rights of the individual.
