ZASA IS A MOVEMENT started by grads to connect cadets, former cadets, and families and friends of USAFA in our mission to reduce sexual assault, harassment, and survivor abuse, and support to victims, and to build a bridge between USAFA and those who have lost faith in the institution and it's leadership. >> Here's how we're doing it. |
We Believe You >>
|
ZASA is a COMMUNITY of survivors, family of survivors, and friends of survivors that have all been affected by Sexual Assault. We understand it's a difficult story to tell and it's YOUR STORY to tell. When you're ready, we're here to listen. Everything you share is confidential. We are not mandatory reporters or obligated to the AOG, USAFA, or Air Force in any way. >>Break the silence. |

How well do you know your rights? >>

Protect Our Defenders has been working hard to reform the military justice system to ensure that victims are protected from their assailants and from retaliation. Over the years, it has become apparent that victims – military and civilian – are not always informed of the rights that are afforded to them. >> Here are 6 of them. 1. The right to request that the perpetrator(s) be prosecuted by civilian authorities 2. The right to be present at court martial proceedings 3. The right to make a restricted report for Pentagon ID cardholders 4. The right to counsel, including when meeting with investigators 5. The right to be protected from the perpetrator(s) 6. The right to consult with a military prosecutor |

"ZASA has been the first place where I feel the community has my back completely. And I have theirs."

CRISTINA PAWLICA '10
"When I finally opened up to close friends about life, relationships, and trauma, they opened up about their own. And then we started to heal. I joined ZASA to start breaking that silence that we all suffer alone in. I want the generations of grads to connect and see how 'not alone' we really are."
