Before anyone could fight for the rights of survivors of sex crimes, we had to fight for women to have the right to be considered human.
If it wasn't for brave women risking their lives for us to have the right to vote -- the women in the 1970s would never have gathered in consciousness raising groups -- where they started learning how many were survivors of sex crimes. We need to honor early human rights activists like Annie Arniel.
The Awareness Center closed. We operated from April 30, 1999 - April 30, 2014. This site is being provided for educational & historical purposes. We were the international Jewish Coalition Against Sexual Abuse/Assault (JCASA); and were dedicated to ending sexual violence in Jewish communities globally. We did our best to operate as the make a wish foundation for Jewish survivors of sex crimes. In the past we offered a clearinghouse of information, resources, support and advocacy.
