Survivors' Agenda is a collective of organizations that believes that survivors should be the ones shaping the national conversation on sexual violence. From sexual harassment in the workplace to safety in schools and communities, the Survivors’ Agenda is a community-driven guide toward the survivor justice that they all deserve. It is about what they are calling for, and what they will no longer stay silent about.
