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.

Female delinquents have rougher way to go
Considering the vast majority of those who were categorized as "female juvenile delinquents" back in the 1970s were also survivors of child abuse, I thought this article was extremely interesting. It saddens me a great deal that they were punished for promiscuity, but cause what we know today is that promiscuity is often symptomology of a child who was sexually abuse. It's also appalling that when a girl was arrested that it was common place to give her a gynecological exam.
