Recapping the 2026 National Sexual Assault Conference®
This past August, the 2026 National Sexual Assault Conference® (NSAC) brought together more than one thousand people working to prevent and end sexual violence in Washington, D.C.
In today’s episode, Ashleigh Klein-Jimenez reflects on what she took away from NSAC, from the energy of being together in person to conversations about culturally grounded preventions, strong prevention strategies, and the role of connection and joy in sustaining the work.
You’ll also hear from Jaiyah Saelua from the American Samoa Alliance Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, Sarah DeGue founder of Evolve Violence Prevention, and China Aquino from the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence as they share takeaways from the conference, reflect on their sessions, and consider what it will take to prevent sexual violence.
