AEquitas Information

AEquitas' (|'ekwitäs|; EH-qui-tahs) mission is to improve the quality of justice in sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, and human trafficking cases by developing, evaluating, and refining prosecution practices that increase victim safety and offender accountability. AEquitas provides prosecutors with the support, training, mentorship, and resources necessary to objectively evaluate and constantly reexamine and refine their approach to justice in these cases. Achieving justice is broader than achieving convictions and is directly linked to victim safety and offender accountability. AEquitas' staff is comprised of former prosecutors that conduct legal research; provide 24/7 case consultation; host specialized or state-specific training events and webinars; and publish articles, monographs, and other resources on topics relevant to the prosecution of violence against women.
