About MNCASA's work to end sexual violence
The Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MNCASA) is a voice for sexual assault victims, sexual assault help and prevention programs, and allies committed to ending sexual violence. Sexual violence takes many forms, including rape, date rape, sexual abuse, incest, pornography, prostitution, sexual harassment, bullying and other forms of assault that use sex as a weapon.
MNCASA connects members and allies to tools and training for rapid and effective response to sexual violence and victims in their communities. We provide facts and guidance to advocates and law makers who promote better public policy that will stop sexual violence. And we offer resources and education tools and training for prosecutors, law enforcement, SANE nurses, health care providers, and expert witnesses in how to ensure a victim-centered response to survivors of rape and other sexually violent crimes. Learn more about the work of MNCASA and SVJI.
