Mission Statement
Adopted Mission Statement THE MISSION OF THE WASHINGTON COALITION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT PROGRAMS IS TO UNITE AGENCIES ENGAGED IN THE ELIMINATION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE, THROUGH EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, VICTIM SERVICES, AND SOCIAL CHANGE. Adopted Philosophy Statement The Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs (WCSAP) views sexual assault as a means of power, control, and manipulation of others and as a social phenomenon which adversely affects adults and children. WCSAP supports efforts to create an atmosphere of non-violence through social change. We are committed to empowering survivors and eliminating sexual assault. WCSAP supports the rights of people to have access to quality information, advocacy, crisis intervention, treatment, education and prevention services. We support the right of a victim to make choices about reporting, prosecution, pregnancy, future safety, and other issues raised by the experience. WCSAP functions through member programs to exchange information, training, and expertise. Programs serve victims, the general public, friends, family, and all those whose lives have been affected by sexual assault. WCSAP is committed to service all individuals regardless of race, gender, religion, age, ethnic background, social, economic status, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental status. WCSAP recognizes the importance of working on racism, homophobia, able-bodyism, and other issues of oppression in order to make services accessible to all individuals.
