CAASE has taken legal action against Chicago Public Schools after the organization regularly failed to address and appropriately respond to sexual violence.
CAASE was chosen as one of six sites to implement the Victims’ Rights Enforcement Project–also known as Rights In Systems Enforced Project (“RISE Project”).
Each year we hold an event to share our appreciation for the hard work and successes of the firms and pro bono attorneys who dedicate their time and energy to survivors of sexual exploitation and violence.
Because while there are some people who choose to engage in sex work, and while a few come out of it unscathed, the evidence is clear: sex work isn’t safe.
Attorney Karen Doran, a participant in CAASE’s Pro Bono Project, and CAASE attorney Rachel Johnson helped a client reclaim some of her power and amplify her voice via legal options.
