Throughout 2025–2026, AASAS continued to build on its role as a provincial leader and coordinator of collective action to address sexual violence. Guided by our Strategic Plan, we strengthened relationships with government and community partners, advanced access to justice initiatives, expanded opportunities for training and capacity building, deepened our commitment to equity and inclusion, and supported a coordinated provincial network of specialized sexual violence services.
This work took place in a challenging environment. Sexual violence services across Alberta continue to experience growing demand, increasing complexity of client needs, workforce pressures, and ongoing resource constraints. In response, AASAS remained focused on strengthening the systems, partnerships, and provincial infrastructure needed to support survivors today while working toward a future free from sexual violence.

Connecting Communities means supporting collaboration across Alberta so survivors can more easily access specialized services close to home. By building relationships, coordinating provincial initiatives, and sharing resources and expertise, we help strengthen connections between communities, sectors, and systems.
Connecting Voices means bringing together the leadership, expertise, and lived experience of our member sexual violence services to identify emerging issues, share promising practices, and speak collectively about the needs of survivors and communities. Through provincial committees, Communities of Practice, collaborative planning, and government engagement, we help ensure that frontline knowledge informs policy, funding, and system improvement.
Connecting the Dots means bringing together knowledge from across the province. Through shared practice frameworks, common program descriptions, evaluation, and provincial data, we help identify emerging trends, demonstrate the impact of specialized sexual violence services, and ensure the experiences of survivors and frontline service providers inform provincial conversations and decision-making.
