GCASAFV is a non-profit organization comprised
of member agencies representing public and private service providers, community
individuals and other community partners and government allies. GCASAFV focuses
on addressing sexual assault (SA) and family violence (FV) on Guam at a
community level with one united voice.
The
GCASAFV carries out its mission by providing education, outreach and training.
We assist in building the capacity of community organizations and networks to
meet the needs of survivors of FV and SA.
Additionally,
the GCASAFV works to increase the community’s awareness about the impact of
sexual assault and family violence. This is accomplished through its Community
Advocate Training program which arms community members with information about
SA and FV, local services and resources available, and victim’s rights.
GCASAFV’s
Project STAR (Strengthening Teens Awareness & Resources) is a project
funded by the Office of Minority Health Resource Center and is aimed at raising
awareness of the prevention of HIV/AIDS, dating/family violence, and sexual
assault targeting youth between the ages of 10 to 17 years old.
