What is CCAW Summit: Beyond the Bounds?
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
Should I attend?
If your community is rural, tourism-driven, or experiences seasonal population shifts, the Summit is designed for you.
Whether you’re dealing with crimes that occur in isolated areas or those involving visitors who leave shortly after, this training will help you navigate the unique challenges these cases present.
Interested in presenting at CCAW Summit?
Summit abstracts must possess a rural, resort, tourist, coastal, or border component to the Summit training. Speakers will need to be able to demonstrate their experience/expertise within these specified demographics either through their bio and/or their list of speaking engagements that are asked for in the request for proposal.
Tip for OVW-Funded Organizations:
If your agency receives OVW grant funding, your CCAW registration and travel may qualify for coverage under those funds. Reach out to your grant manager to confirm and request approval.
