Former basketball coach Beckie Francis advocated for the passage of Erin's Law in Michigan, which requires teachers to undergo training to recognize signs of sexual abuse and for students to take classes on safe/unsafe touches and how to report abuse. The law is named for Erin Merryn, who wrote a memoir about her experiences with rape and incest as a child and became an activist for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Since being passed in Illinois in 2010, Erin's Law has been adopted by 11 other states and introduced in 25 state legislatures.
