The Women Are Sacred Conference is one of the oldest and largest gatherings of advocates, survivors, tribal domestic and sexual violence programs, tribal community members, tribal leadership, law enforcement and tribal court personnel dedicated to ending violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women and children.

WAS offers state of the art training opportunities designed to increase the capacity of tribal nations, tribal domestic violence and community-based programs to address violence in tribal communities.

Conference presenters include emerging Indigenous leaders and experts in the movement to ending violence.

This year's theme "Resilience: Walking in Ancestral Footprints, Carrying Our Medicine" is who we are as Indigenous peoples and our journey - where we came from and where we are going.
