As of July 1, 1975 those who report suspected cases of child abuse and or neglect would be given legal immunity. This included cases of sexual abuse and "mental injury". The law also changed the age limit for victims the from age of 16 to 18.
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.
