Due to the state's limited financial resources, and the growing number of sexual assaults, overwhelming numbers of rape test kits are left unanalyzed. Tens of thousands of sexual assault kits in California are locked away while rapists walk free, and victims are left without justice and closure. CAWEW is dedicated to raising the necessary funds to ensure that no sexual assault kit is left untested in California. CAWEW also works closely with local Sexual Assault Response Teams (SART) providing much needed funds, services and equipment. CAWEW is working towards building the CAWEW Center, which will provide counseling and support to victims of sexual assault. The center will facilitate the empowerment of women and girls with programs such as: occupational skills, job placement, self-esteem, and self-defense. The center will operate a rape crisis hotline and provide resources for victims and their families.
