The chat we'd like to have would be a roundtable discussion on how social media not only gives women a platform for speaking out about domestic abuse or sexual assault; it makes them more vulnerable to harassment. We want to explore whether empowerment has begun to trump fear; or are women still being ridiculed to the point of dropping out of the conversation? Are we seeing a cultural shift in women's willingness to come forward? Is there someone at the center who can speak on these topics? Please contact me at your earliest convenience - [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 818.321.0260.
