About SASS

We seek to encourage a better understanding of sexual violence by shining a light on the societal attitudes and beliefs that prevent individuals, families, and communities from living free from threat, fear, or experience of sexual violence.
We amplify the voices of our member agencies and survivors of sexual violence to raise awareness of the realities they face.
We are committed to taking action against sexual violence through initiatives that create change from the front-lines to the legislative.
