Survivor Empowerment & Advisory Council

OAESV’s Survivor Empowerment & Advisory Council (SEAC) is a dynamic group of individuals who have experienced sexual violence. SEAC members collaborate with OAESV’s team and external partners to shape meaningful change in Ohio. As of December 2025, the Council is comprised of five members.

OAESV sincerely thanks its five inaugural members of the revamped Survivor Empowerment and Advisory Council for their work between 2023-2025.

OAESV and the Council work to integrate survivor voices into trainings and the design of policies, programs, and community responses across the state. There is never an expectation for Council members to identify as survivors publicly or to share personal stories unless the member chooses to do so. The SEAC is a catalyst for transformation, positioning survivors as leaders and changemakers in the movement to end sexual violence in Ohio. This is not a support group, but a collective focused on change.

Apply today to join OAESV’s Survivor Empowerment and Advisory Council for the 2026 cycle! Application closes January 9, 2026.
