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. We provide culturally-led training and support to communities, as well as work towards shifting policy and societal structures. While our work is guided by Indigenous values and indigenizing practices, we also know our work is inextricably linked to other anti-oppression work.
