About OAESV

OAESV is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization incorporated in 2010. Through statewide and community partnerships, OAESV provides public policy advocacy, training, and technical assistance to rape crisis centers and allied organizations, and resources and information available to professionals, survivors, and the general public. OAESV is based in Cleveland, Ohio, with a satellite office in Columbus, Ohio.

OAESV’s Perspective on Sexual Violence

Sexual violence is a crime of oppression committed by those with power and control over those with little or no power or control.

Sexual violence is disproportionately suffered by women, by women of color, by individuals who identify as LGBTQI, and individuals with one or more disabilities.

Survivors of sexual violence deserve to be believed and respected and to have access to culturally relevant services.

Perpetrators of sexual violence should be held accountable for their crimes.

The prevention of sexual violence is possible and should be a statewide priority, as well as a priority of every community.
