Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition

MIWSAC is a state-wide Tribal sexual assault coalition based in Minnesota, working to support advocates and survivors since 2001. Over the last 20 years, our work has expanded to providing training, technical assistance, and support around sexual assault, sex trafficking, and MMIWR work across the country.
