As part of her goal to ensure sexual assault survivors get the justice they deserve, Camille Cooper has focused much of her career efforts on decreasing the huge amount of unanalyzed and untested sexual assault case evidence, otherwise known as the rape kit backlog. Cooper has said part of her job with RAINN is also to make sure Congress and legislators prioritize and provide funding for sexual assault survivors to receive the support and care they need, including access to forensic nurse examiners.
