The Army of Survivors is working hard to provide resources to survivors and their allies, advocate for culture change, educate the community, and build sustainability within the organization. To see some of the goals we are working on right now, take a look at our strategic plan. While our mission is to bring awareness, accountability, and transparency regarding the sexual violence against athletes at all levels, the goal is that our work will impact survivors of any type of sexual violence. Our objectives are to continue to distribute and create resources, continue advocacy work in the state and the nation through educating leaders on laws and bills to protect athletes from sexual violence, and bring more education and awareness to sexual violence. Our partnerships with other organizations and in broader projects that support our mission will ensure we support all survivors with our organization filling the void, and being the voice for survivors in sport.

NOW is unique in its approach to the issue of violence against women, emphasizing that there are many interrelated aspects to the issue -- domestic violence; sexual assault; sexual harassment; violence at abortion clinics; hate crimes across lines of gender, sexuality and race; the gender bias in our judicial system that further victimizes survivors of violence; and the violence of poverty emphasized by the radical right's attacks on poor women and children -- all of which result from society's attitudes toward women and efforts to "keep women in their place."
