A new study from the National Institute of Justice reveals that school level interventions can significantly reduce dating violence and sexual harassment among middle school students. Check out the full article here.

This week, a national study found that sexual harassment affects about half of the students in grades seven to 12.

As Soraya Chemaly writes in her article "Six Ways for Dads and Moms to Help Daughters with Street Harassment", 

"Fighting against street harassment isn't silly or futile. Men who harass, who are predatory, do it because they can. For girls and women, half of all humans, there is nothing "normal" about it. It takes place in the context of cultural misogyny, disrespect, discrimination, rape and power, keeping public places largely male-dominated and impeding equality in the most base and threatening way possible." 

Join us for a panel discussion about as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Panelists include Kelly Cooke, Executive Director of My Sister's Place; Troy Robison from Counseling and Psychological Services; and a survivor of domestic violence.
