Talk: Restorative justice for sexual harm: why I fought for a circle, not a courtroom
Marlee Liss (she/her) is a somatic educator, author, and sparkle-loving lesbian Jewish feminist.
She made history in the justice system when her sexual assault case became the first in North America to conclude with restorative justice through the courts. Since then, she has supported thousands in learning trauma-informed pleasure and inclusive consent education. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Huff Post, Buzzfeed, the Mel Robbins Show, and more.
Liss was 1 of 25 survivors on an elite panel for the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence informing federal policy and her story is currently being made into a documentary directed by Kelsey Darragh. Her book on re-imagining justice for sexual violence will be released in fall of 2026 with Penguin Random House.
