Panel Discussion: What Does it Mean to Invest in Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence?
As we enter Domestic Violence Action Month we invite you to join our expert panelists for an important virtual conversation about the importance of investing in the prevention of sexual and domestic violence. Learn more about what prevention of sexual and domestic violence means; what prevention-related education and skills-building for youth on healthy relationships, bodily autonomy, and consent looks like; and a discussion on what it means to divest in the criminal legal response while investing in the prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault.
