Coalition Information
The Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition (MIWSAC) is a statewide tribal coalition with individual and program membership from across the state.
The membership is comprised of American Indian and Alaska Native women and allies who bring with them extensive cultural knowledge and long histories of working in sexual assault and/or domestic violence programs. It is their effort and dedication that propel us forward as we work to end sexual violence in our communities. MIWSAC strives to reclaim the traditional values that honor the sovereignty of our women and children by incorporating culture and spirituality into every aspect of program operations. One in Three
A USDOJ study concluded that 31.4% of American Indian and Alaska Native women- or more than 1 in 3- will be raped during their lifetime. Amnesty International’s interviews with women across Indian country found that most could not think of a woman within their community who had not been subjected to sexual violence.
