SOA Watch is a nonviolent organization seeking to end injustice, especially the injustice—including rape and sexual assault—caused at the hands of soldiers trained at the SOA/WHINSEC. As we take active steps to prevent injustice, we must also take active steps to prevent sexual harassment and assault in our communities. To ensure that the SOA Watch community and all SOA Watch events are safe from sexual offenses and that SOA Watch supports survivors of sexual offenses, a group of SOA Watch activists started a Sexual Offense Prevention and Response Team. While we work to close the SOA (by any name) we strive to do so in a manner that reflects the change we wish to see in the world and in an atmosphere that is welcoming and safe for all who wish to participate.
Mission Statement: To prevent sexual assault and harassment within our community by providing consent based education and outlining community standards on behavior. In the case of sexual offenses to provide a hotline, resources, support and a process for community based mediation and accountability.
