Violence and sexual abuse in relationships must always be viewed as an abuse of Human Rights. It should not be rationalised or minimised and there must never be an acceptable or tolerable level of violence. Anyone can be a victim of sexual violence, irrespective of age, race, income or employment status.

Central to our work in KASA, is a belief which offers support, empathy and understanding. We offer a safe and confidential space and a person-centered, empowerment approach in all of our contact with clients.
