Description
The Center for Anti-Violence Education (CAE) works as a catalyst for change in the lives of women, transgender people 1, teen women, children, and other communities especially affected by violence. CAE’s programs are designed to develop participants’ skills, knowledge, and awareness to enable them to heal from, prevent, and counter violence. We do this work to actively create a peaceful, just, and equitable world.
Building voices is our foundation. Founded in 1974, Brooklyn Women's Martial Arts—which then become the Center for Anti-Violence Education in 1989—grew out of the protest movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s. We began as a feminist women’s organization with a commitment to building women’s leadership & have since developed violence-prevention curriculum for transgender people, teenagers & children. To further our vision of a violence-free society, we develop age-appropriate programming to teach violence-prevention skills and strategies and to encourage activism.
We are multiracial and anti-racist. Always guided by a commitment to addressing the different types of oppression that lead to violence, CAE has long used trainings, discussions, and special programs to turn our anti-racist commitment into reality and to create a community organization that is truly accessible to people from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
