Reshaping Response to Campus Sexual Assault: Callisto’s Technological Revolution

Tracy DeTomasi, the CEO of Callisto, a non-profit organization, is leveraging technology to combat the prevalent issue of sexual assault on college campuses. During her conversation with Denver Frederick on The Business of Giving, DeTomasi highlighted Callisto’s core tool, Callisto Vault, which provides survivors with a secure platform to report their experiences. Callisto Vault’s unique matching system is a critical component in identifying serial offenders and connecting survivors, a feature DeTomasi views as instrumental in making survivors feel less isolated. As the organization expands its technology to more campuses and aims for universal access, DeTomasi emphasized their strategic partnerships, trauma-informed internal culture, and efforts towards societal change.
