The mission of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault is to promote the compassionate and just treatment of victims and their loved ones, foster collaborative relationships between community systems and affect attitudinal and behavioral changes in society as we work toward the elimination of sexual violence against all people. NJCASA board members and other volunteers have been successfully helping the victims of sexual assault since 1981. Since September 1999, thanks to generous grants made through the State Office of Victim Witness Advocacy and the State’s Division on Women in the Department of Community Affairs, NJCASA has a fully staffed Trenton office. NJCASA is the collective voice for rape crisis centers in all 21 counties throughout the state of NJ, each of which operates as an individual unit. With the opening of the Trenton office, NJCASA has increased its advocacy on behalf of assault victims on a statewide level.

The New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women was organized in 1977 to help all victims of domestic violence. NJCBW believes that domestic violence is a crime, a major social problem and a concern of every member of our society. It assists local shelters’ efforts to provide quality services for victims of domestic violence through training, education, information and referrals. NJCBW educates the public to increase awareness of the complex issues of violence in the family and offers training and technical assistance to community, law enforcement, civic, church and professional groups. It provides statistics, resources and information on domestic violence free upon request through their Resource Center.
