Creating Change

Let’s Create the World we Want to Live in

Our lives do not exist in a vacuum. We are impacted by the world around us, just as we impact the world.

OAASIS advocates for policies and structural change that keep kids safe and help survivors heal. We do this by learning about people’s needs in the community and amplifying the voices of survivors, loved ones, and caring community members.

Our work is centered on preventing child sexual abuse and helping survivors live full, healthy, joyful lives. To do this, we must look at how child sexual abuse intersects with other aspects of people’s lives. We understand that people who have been sexually abused (and people who have committed sexual abuse) come from all walks of life. We place an emphasis on building equity for people who are marginalized. We support dismantling barriers that place additional burdens on many people who were sexually abused as children, particularly people of color, people living in low-income communities, women, people who are LGBTQ, people born in other countries, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and people who our predominant culture considers “other.”

What’s on our minds: creating change
