The Harvard Law School Survivor Justice Coalition (HLS SJC) is a community of survivors and allies at Harvard Law School dedicated to: advocating for survivors in the practice of law; furthering our understanding of the anti-sexual violence movement and its intersections with racial justice, gender justice, economic justice, and disability justice; and supporting survivors at HLS and in the greater Boston community.
We are committed to prioritizing intersectionality in our advocacy for survivors, recognizing that BIPOC and trans communities, people who are incarcerated, and individuals with disabilities experience the highest rates of sexual violence. We reject carceral feminism and stand in solidarity with decarceration. We look to restorative and transformative justice as the future of the anti-sexual violence movement as they prioritize the needs of survivors and addressing the root causes of harm.
