The mission at Jane Doe No More is simple and focused, with one main objective. We will improve the way society responds to victims of sexual assault. We will accomplish the mission through awareness and education about this horrific crime so that all victims of sexual assault will have the chance for a full and healthy recovery; thus shortening the time from crime to healing.
Jane Doe No More is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization, born out of the experience of founder Donna Palomba, a sexual assault survivor, who came forward for the first time in a Dateline NBC special aired in April 2007 to share her horrific and very personal story.
