The DC Rape Crisis Center, Women Empowered Against Violence, Break the Cycle and
My Sister's Place present the 4th Annual City-Wide Teen Dating Violence
Conference, "Act Now. Choose Respect" in Washington, DC. The mission of the
conference is to inform teens about dating violence and provide resources so
that teens could make more empowered decisions about their relationships.
Adults will attend intense training seminars on supporting teens from diverse
backgrounds, and learn effective tools to apply in their own work with teens
experiencing abuse. Service providers, community members, parents, guardians,
and teachers are encouraged to attend.

The conference is a half-day for adults on March 30th, 2007, and a full-day for
teens on March 31st, 2007. The conference will be held at the Equality Center
at the Human Rights Campaign Building at 1640 Rhode Island Ave., NW, Washington,
DC.

There is an amazing line of speakers and workshops for both days with
interactive activities, educational workshops and food!

Registration is free for adults, and teens that register and attend have the
opportunity to receive a $25 stipend!
