The Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault (WCASA) is the statewide sexual assault coalition, including a membership comprised of organizations and individuals working to end sexual assault in Wisconsin.

In 2016, WCASA members voted to simplify the membership to only include sexual assault service providers (SASPs) as voting members. Unfortunately, this change eliminated the opportunity for other organizations and individuals to access membership. Based on feedback from stakeholders, this was re-evaluated and a new structure was adopted for implementation in 2024.

As we continue to evolve as an organization, we will continue to adapt and change to best meet the needs of all our stakeholders – and ultimately, survivors. We believe these changes allow us to provide better services to all stakeholders, while we continue building a movement. While SASPs are leaders in the sexual assault field, there are many other partners needed in this effort. It is going to take a movement to end sexual violence.

As a member of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault, you assure that you support the vision, mission and values of WCASA:
  • Collaboration and Solidarity – We value the expertise of others and do not do this work alone. We follow the leadership of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and survivors as we build relationships based on trust and accountability with communities and historically marginalized groups. 
  • Liberation and Empowerment – We acknowledge that the origins of this movement began with Black and Indigenous women. We commit to elevating BIPOC voices and embrace transformative justice in our approach. 
  • Healthy Boundaries and Communication – We respect personal and professional boundaries. We value honest, direct, and ethical communication. 
  • Humility and Accountability – We recognize the impact of white supremacy and white feminism evident in our movement. We commit to holding ourselves and others accountable to recognize, mitigate, and address harm as it continues. 
  • Survivor-Centered and Led- We honor survivors as experts in this work. We commit to centering those most impacted by sexual violence and promote survivor-defined healing and justice.
