Join us for a workshop on how to advocate for ourselves and support the survivors of gender-based violence (sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, harassment, stalking, or family abuse) in our school, professional, and personal lives. Leave with an expanded toolkit of strategies, information, and resources for advocacy, bystander intervention, and healing.
Survivors and allies are welcome--no prior experience or knowledge required! All undergraduate, graduate, and professional students are invited, but we will be centering the voices and experiences of women and nonbinary students of color.
