In this first episode of the Voice2Change podcast by Jane Doe No More, our host Jocelyn Maminta interviews Donna Palomba. Donna is the founder and president of Jane Doe No More which she started back in 2007. Today we hear her story and why she started the nationally recognized organization.
After surviving a home invasion and sexual assault that happened in 1993 she was then revictimized by a police department who choose not to believe her, mismanaged her case, and let her perpetrator get away.
