Event Overview
“Domestic violence is the oldest and most pervasive form of violence in the world,” says author, essayist and feminist Angela Davis. It’s long been accepted as an inevitable part of the complex fabric of family relationship across all cultures, including mainstream American culture. Today a growing movement to break that mindset is emerging even as data reveals that one out of three women and one in six men in the U.S. have experienced it at some point in their lifetimes.
Speakers will discuss three recent efforts to find solutions through legislation, through reforms in the courts and through grassroots mobilization by survivors of abuse using social media.
