Mission
The California Coalition Against Sexual Assault
provides leadership, vision and resources to rape
crisis centers, individuals and other entities
committed to ending sexual violence.
Vision
CALCASA envisions a world free from sexual
violence.
3
Statement of Philosophy and Values
Members of CALCASA believe:
4
•
All members of society have a right to be safe from sexual
violence.
•
Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual access or attempted
access and constitutes a spectrum of experience suffered in
individually varied ways.
•
A survivor is anyone who has survived any form of sexual
violence.
•
All affected by sexual violence deserve compassionate, culturally
and linguistically relevant and accessible services with dignity,
privacy and respect.
•
Oppression is a root cause of sexual violence, and we are
committed to ending it in all of its forms.
•
Doing effective survivor-centered work requires that we be
aware of our privilege(s), internalized oppression, personal
biases and how they affect our expectations and behavior.
•
In order to stop sexual violence, there must be a shift in the
public perception. Changing social norms and challenging
bystander attitudes and behaviors are essential prevention
strategies.
•
Everyone has a role and a responsibility in ending sexual
violence, and the healing of survivors cannot be separated from
the healing of society.
•
Society has a responsibility for holding perpetrators accountable
for sexual violence.
•
Eliminating the conditions that cause and perpetuate sexual
violence is critical work in preventing rape and sexual assault.
•
Honoring our grassroots, feminist and civil rights history is
important.
•
It is important to build collaborative alliances in solidarity with all
who are committed to our vision.
