Even if you could have said the word “no,” it was a question between you and your survival<\/strong> \u2013 your job, your\u00a0next paycheck, your future.<\/p>\n

When an authority figure you know and trust (a boss, your\u00a0counselor, your youth group leader, your doctor) suddenly comes onto you with a particular\u00a0<\/span>determination, most women become paralyzed, overcome with shock and fear.<\/p>\n

If you wound up in a situation of imbalanced power where you couldn\u2019t say no to a threatening\u00a0authority, you can have your power back by taking part in civil litigation prosecuting the\u00a0institution that wasn\u2019t paying attention.<\/span><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s what we do at A Case for Women. We\u2019ve worked with thousands of survivors of sexual\u00a0assault: spas, universities, amateur and professional sports teams, summer camps, rideshare\u00a0companies, you name it. What you can do now is take part in civil litigation to hold the powerful accountable. Of the thousands of women we\u2019ve helped, not one has ever regretted coming to us and taking legal action.<\/p>\n

Our mission is to\u00a0stop the fear and futility that keeps sexual assault survivors from revealing what happened to them.\u00a0 We consider the plight of women with small dreams and big dreams who want to get ahead without selling their soul. As a national force with communication clout, we want to make \u2018making it\u2019 something no one else but you controls.<\/h5>\n
