Articles Marlee Liss

Marlee is a queer, Jewish feminist passionate about restorative justice and ending sexual violence. She has dedicated so much of her life to this initiative. In 2019, her personal sexual assault case became the 1st in North America to conclude with restorative justice through the courts. This means she fought for her assailant to go to therapy and eventually they met in an 8-hour circle, rather than proceeding to criminal trial. She has shared her story with Forbes, Huff Post, Mel Robbins Show, CTV News and more. As a trained somatic educator, she has supported women all over the world in healing trauma and shame through her coaching programs. She sat on an elite panel for the National Action Plan to End Gender Based Violence and has presented for US Military SAPRO, Fordham School of Law, and University of Toronto. She continues to dedicate her life to this cause in the hopes that sexual assault survivors have access to justice pathways that prioritize and centre healing.
