Mariska Hargitay

Actor

Mariska Hargitay is an actress, director, producer, and advocate, who has used her Emmy award-winning role as Olivia Benson on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU to shed light on sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. In 2004, she took her commitment to a higher level by founding the Joyful Heart Foundation, a leading national organization working to transform society’s response to this violence, support survivors’ healing—and, ultimately, end this violence forever. The current focus of her advocacy is the national untested rape kit backlog. She testified on the topic before the U.S. Congress in 2010, and has since produced I Am Evidence, a documentary on the topic in partnership with HBO that recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
