OUR COMMUNITY: "Sexual Violence and Relationship Abuse within the LGBT Community"

This workshop will include some facts and statistics about problems of violence that are often hidden or denied in our community. We will discuss the impact of sexual violence on the community and ways the community might respond. How is it different from, and similar to, sexual violence in the straight community? What can you do to help a friend?

Presenter: Carol Mosely is the Coordinator of the Rape Prevention Education Program at UCSB’s Women’s Center. She works to educate the campus about the issues of sexual assault, relationship abuse, stalking, and self defense.

Room: Ucen Santa Barbara Harbor
