New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault

The mission of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NJCASA) is to promote the compassionate and just treatment of survivors, their loved ones and significant others, foster collaborative relationships between community systems, and affect attitudinal and behavioral changes in society as we work toward the elimination of sexual violence against all people.

Description:
The New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NJCASA) is the statewide coalition, representing the collective voice of sexual violence survivors, their loved ones and significant others, 22 Sexual Violence Programs throughout New Jersey, as well as individuals, students and corporations concerned about ending sexual violence. Since its inception in 1981, NJCASA has been acting as an advocate for survivors, their loved ones and significant others statewide, while providing information and education to the public, media and government officials regarding sexual violence issues. NJCASA is dedicated to developing and maintaining programs and services which support our mission of eliminating sexual violence throughout New Jersey and its communities.

History:
NJCASA board members and other volunteers have been successfully helping survivors of sexual assault since 1981. Since September 1999, thanks to generous grants made through the State Office of Victim Witness Advocacy and the State's Division on Women in the Department of Community Affairs, NJCASA has a fully-staffed Trenton office. NJCASA also launched a statewide public education campaign in 2000.
