Our Mission

MOCSA exists to lessen the ill effects of sexual assault and abuse through prevention, education, intervention, treatment and advocacy.

 

Why we do it

Sexual violence is not something that happens to other people in other places. It can−and does−happen everyday right here in Kansas City, devastating the victims and their families. Consider these facts:

  • 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 7 boys will be sexually abused in their lifetime
  • 1 in 8 women have been raped
  • A rape is reported in the greater Kansas City area every other day. Only 16% of all rapes are ever reported
  • Over 80% of sexual violence is committed by someone the victim knows, not by a stranger
  • Children, young women ages 15-25 and persons with developmental disabilities are the most frequent victims of sexual violence

The damage done by sexual violence can last a lifetime. Through our programs, MOCSA hopes to prevent these crimes from happening and help victims become survivors.
