CAP Around the World


The Front Range Center for Assault Prevention has served over 60,000 students and thousands of adults across Colorado in the last 12 years. While the FRCAP has made a tremendous impact since its inception over a decade ago, we are a small part of a global network of Child Assault Prevention projects operating all over the world.

The Child Assault Prevention (CAP) Program began in 1978 in Columbus, Ohio. The first CAP curriculum was authored by Women Against Rape (WAR) in response to the sexual assault of a young girl on her way home from school. After quickly spreading across the state of Ohio, local CAP projects were founded throughout the United States. Today, CAP Projects exist in 22 states and 16 countries under the umbrella of the International Center for Assault Prevention.

For an in depth look at the impact CAP is having around the globe, visit the ICAP Website. You'll learn about the founders and current leaders of the organization, CAP success stories, and terminology crucial to understanding the issue of child assault.
