Women Are Sacred conference returns in 2025

The National Indigenous Women's Resource Center will host the 2025 Women Are Sacred Conference from July 29-31 at the Baird Convention Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, according to an announcement by NIWRC. Held every two years, the event is one of the largest gatherings focused on ending violence against Native women and children.

This year’s theme, “Committed to Our Relatives: Tradition in Our Hearts, Future in Our Hands,” emphasizes the role of Native women as changemakers and protectors. The conference will include training sessions and networking opportunities for advocates, survivors, law enforcement, tribal leadership and court personnel. According to NIWRC, the event aims to strengthen tribal responses to violence through capacity-building and shared learning.
