Who We Are
The New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NJCASA) is the statewide advocacy and capacity-building organization that represents New Jersey’s 21 county-based sexual violence programs and the Rutgers University – New Brunswick Office of Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance. In addition to our county-based programs, we also have in our membership a cohort of eight culturally specific programs. Culturally specific services are created by and for specific cultural communities and provide support with an emphasis on the experiences and needs of survivors in such communities and with recognition of the cultural complexities and layered identities of every individual. In New Jersey, we have many incredible culturally specific services available for survivors of sexual violence.
Our Vision
We envision a world free from all forms of oppression, where sexual violence does not exist, and the dignity of every person is valued and respected.
Our Mission
NJCASA centers anti-oppression and anti-racist principles to eradicate sexual violence and support survivors and their loved ones by working collaboratively to promote equity, justice, and healing.
