Sisters of Color Ending Sexual Assault (SCESA): The National Women
of Color Leadership Project
The National Women of Color Leadership Project is a Department
of Justice funded initiative to identify, train, and support Women
of Color in attaining or maintaining leadership positions at state
and territorial sexual assault coalitions. The Connecticut Sexual
Crisis Services, Inc. (CONNSACS) and the New York State Coalition
Against Sexual Assault (NYSCASA) coordinate this Leadership Project.
The steering committee of the Project has adopted the name Sisters
of Color Ending Sexual Assault (SCESA), to reflect a long-term
goal of ensuring that women of color are given an opportunity to
influence and affect system-wide responses and social change initiatives
related to sexual assault. Therefore, going forward, the Leadership
Project will be referred to as SCESA: The National Women of Color
Leadership Project and will strive to ensure continuity and build
long-term recognition with women of color in the anti-sexual assault
movement.
