OUR WORK

LITIGATION & ADVOCACY

CAASE engages in civil litigation against perpetrators and facilitators of sexual harm, and advocates for appropriate and effective criminal prosecution of rapists, pimps, and people who buy sex. We also advocate for public policies that increase the efficacy of criminal and civil laws against sexual violence and exploitation.

ORGANIZING & POLICY REFORM

CAASE creates and advocates for legislative and policy reform that strives to: increase the legal and social accountability of sex traffickers, pimps, people who buy sex, and rapists; promote broad community support for victim services; and advocate that perpetrators pay for the sexual harm they cause. CAASE also advises law enforcement, policy makers, and other stakeholders on best practices relating to sex trafficking, prostitution, and rape.

PREVENTION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

CAASE works to prevent sexual exploitation by increasing public understanding of the harms inherent in the sex trade, including through research and the arts. CAASE creates and implements educational curricula designed to encourage boy and men to work against sexual exploitation. Additionally, CAASE develops toolkits for nonprofits, faith-based groups, schools, businesses, feminist groups, and other communities and individuals to provide tangible actions people can take against sexual harm.
