The Kaisa Project
A six month project to engage gaming streamers as messengers for sexual assault prevention.
What is the Kaisa Project?
We're working with streamers to bring sexual assault awareness, resources, and honest conversations directly to gaming communities.
This project is funded through the Prevent SA Incubator.

We realized that online streamers have an outsized potential to reduce sexual assault.
With over 97% of young boys either watching streamers or playing video games often with friends, this has created a new way to learn, connect, and form opinions on the world around them.
We believe that in the digital age, the communities formed around video games can be a heavily influential factor in the formation of the attitudes and opinions in young boys. These attitudes then impact young girls and women, both online and in-person.
Given the known connection between attitudes of sexual violence and perpetrating sexual violence, we believe that unhealthy online gaming communities could be exasperating beliefs tied to the increase likelihood of in-person perpetration.
Streamers, unlike other role models or spheres of influence like those in sports or television, have direct communication with their audiences, they have an outsized opportunity to influence behavior, attitudes, and opinions around sexual assault.
By leveraging the authentic connection between streamers and their communities, we aim to normalize these conversations in a space that has historically struggled with these topics.
The Kaisa Project is a short-term incubator project that will run from January to July 2026. We’ll share our learnings with our community — so please subscribe to the ENDTAB newsletter to stay updated.
