To understand the history of the anti-rape movement, one must have a full understanding of the fight for women to have the same civil rights as men. Out of this fight women started gathering in what was called "consciousness raising groups", where they shared their thoughts, feelings and experiences. From these gatherings women started realizing that they were not alone -- that many others were also being abused, neglected and or sexually assaulted. It's out of these meetings we really started to get a grasp on the number of individuals who were sexually abused as children.
The Awareness Center, Inc. is the international Jewish Coalition Against Sexual Abuse/Assault (JCASA). We are dedicated to ending sexual violence in Jewish communities globally. We do our best to operate as "the make a wish foundation" for Jewish survivors of sex crimes, by offering a clearinghouse of information, resources, support and advocacy. We are a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
