The Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence has named its 2026 Advocacy in Action Award winners and one of them is Janel Grant.
“She has been instrumental in advocating for the passage of legislation to limit the use of NDAs when they silence survivors, using advocacy to frame NDA reform as a matter of supporting and protecting human rights,” the organization said.
Grant and the other winners are to be honoured on September 11th.
The organization also praised Grant for the person she is.
“Janel is an incredibly kind, empathetic, and brave woman who believes in the power of being the light you want to see and in people showing up for one another,” they said.
Grant responded on social media thanking them for the honour.
“These are my heroes. Thank you @endsexualviolence_ct. The Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence has helped me and countless other survivors. The Alliance is the state’s coalition of community-based sexual assault crisis service centers, working to increase and protect the rights of survivors while ensuring access to comprehensive, trauma-informed care. Their services save lives. They saved mine. I’m committed to paying it forward and supporting others like they have supported me. I look forward to standing alongside you in celebration and solidarity in September!”.
Grant has filed suit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and WWE, alleging sex trafficking, sexual assault, coercion and emotional abuse while employed by WWE. The defendants have denied the allegations.
The two parties are currently in private arbitration.
