Appendix C CHAIRMAN'S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to acknowledge the organizations listed below. Their assistance in gathering information for this report was invaluable. We would especially like to thank all of the many centers across the country which invested an inestimable amount of time and energy to help us compile the timeline survey. We would have liked to acknowledge each center individually. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so because of our desire to maintain the anonymity of the women described in these stories, many of whom live in fear that their ordeals will become public, their identities revealed and their whereabouts will become known to those who have attacked them.
