Stopping Sexual Harassment and Abuse
According to Tarana Burke, Founder of the #MeToo Movement, the cost of dealing with sexual harassment and violence is $122,000 per person on average and low income women are 12x more likely to experience it. Sexual harassment crosses every demographic, including transgendered individuals. Hear from a diverse panel of experts about what we can do to stop pervasive sexual harassment and abuse.
"In the era of #metoo and #timesup, it's more imperative than ever that we highlight survivors' voices and hold perpetrators accountable. Sexual harassment and all forms of abuse are completely inexcusable, and we collectively have to come together to say that our communities will not tolerate this kind of behavior." -Vanessa Volz

- Representative Teresa Tanzi
- Reverend DL. Helfer of the Womxn Project Collaborative
-Nwando Ofokansi, Katie Brown Educational Program
