GNESA was founded
in 1982 as a loose network by the seven existing rape crisis centers
in Georgia; the network helped the centers develop into viable entities.
As the network grew, the member centers recognized the need for
a central office. Therefore, in late 1997, GNESA incorporated as
a non-profit organization, secured office space, hired its first
staff members, and started to develop its programs. Current membership
includes 23 rape crisis centers, several supporting organizations, and
individual members.
GNESA, the
Georgia Network to End Sexual Assault, is a non-profit coalition
of sexual assault agencies and concerned individuals that share
the common goal of ending sexual assault. We are a membership organization.
GNESA envisions
a society free from sexual violence and functions as a collective
voice for reducing the threat and mitigating the effects of sexual
assault in the state of Georgia. GNESA coordinates and supports
a multidisciplinary approach to public and professional education,
advocacy, and service for sexual assault centers and service providers.
