Protecting our Children and Youth: Innovative Sexual Violence Prevention

May 13th, 2004

9:00 a.m. —  4 :00 p.m.

Featuring Keynote Speaker: Gordon Braxton

Gordon is dedicated to making a difference in this world by speaking out against oppression in all of its many forms. Four years ago, Gordon was a committed activist on race relations committed to combating the oppression of persons of color in America . He has since come to realize that the struggles of all oppressed peoples are very much interrelated and now works to challenge the oppression of women and more specifically, gender violence. Able to contrast his experiences as an African-American with his experiences as a man, he weaves a story of societal oppression that operates on both sides of the continuum and touches all.

Playing to Win: A Dialogue on the Kobe Bryant Case

In this interactive case study, the audience will respond to and debate the proposed “facts” of the Kobe Bryant case and decide their relevance and importance in determining if a sexual assault occurred. The audience will be asked to decide the importance of each piece of evidence as it relates to public opinion and relevance to the alleged sexual assault. Core content and material covered include 1) legal definitions of sexual assault, 2) consensual definitions of sexual assault, 3) rape myths, 4) healthy relationships and 5) the influence of alcohol in sexual situations.

Plus, additional workshops on Virginia's male outreach in sexual violence prevention and local efforts in Loudoun County.

More details coming soon!
