HOSTED IN SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TEXAS

The CCAW Summit: Beyond the Bounds serves as an extension of the Conference on Crimes Against Women to highlight the specific gender-based challenges that are unique to coastal cities, rural towns, and resort communities. Victims and survivors of these areas are confronted with geographic isolation and transportation issues as well as a lack of anonymity and limited access to resources and services.

CCAW Summit provides education, training, and best-practice strategies to address problems such as:

Aquatic Homicide, Human Trafficking, Immigration and Border Issues, Sexual Abuse, CPS Involvement, 9-1-1 Reporting, Domestic Violence, Law Enforcement Report Writing, Forensic Nursing, Prosecutorial Perspectives

Sept. 22 – 23, 2025
