The RINJ Foundation has extensive past and sustaining goals, accomplishments, activities and aspirations which you can read about throughout its web site.
First created in 2010 in response to a series of viral rape content on the internet plus court evidentiary issues RINJ was formalized in late summer 2011 by the people who were involved in supporting the victim of the Canadian Pitt Meadows rape case, 2010.
Rape, in the course of war, dates back to antiquity, ancient enough to have been mentioned in the Bible. From time immemorial, rape has been regarded as spoils of war. Now it will be considered a war crime. We want to send out a strong message that rape is no longer a trophy of war but a serious war crime. ~ The RINJ Foundation
