By blind people, for blind people
Our bodies.
Our choices.
Our community.
Access to information. Access to pleasure. Access to community.
Blind people belong at the center of conversations about our sexuality, relationships, and consent. Together, we can shape what access looks like.

A history made together
From living rooms to a wider network.
BSAN grew through LightHouse workshops, university collaborations, tactile anatomy projects, friendships, and conversations that reached across borders during the pandemic.
Our fuller history names the people, questions, and shared work that brought us here.
This history is incomplete and growing.

Access begins with how we learn
Knowledge you can put your hands on.
Tactile anatomy models are one part of BSAN’s history of blind people helping create the tools and education we need.
Access includes the format, the questions being asked, and who gets to make decisions.

Help shape BSAN
Share an experience, an access barrier, a resource, or an idea. You do not need a professional title. See ways to contribute and our community agreements.
Need immediate support?
In the United States, call 911 for immediate emergency assistance. For suicide or emotional crisis support, call or text 988.
Find emergency and crisis support options. BSAN is not an emergency response service.
A question, an idea, a connection.
