Sexual violence is a violation of power, control, and autonomy, and disproportionately impacts People with Disabilities. While disability itself is a broad term, People with Disabilities are - on average - seven times more likely to experience sexual violence. We will examine how systems and isms put people at risk, and how we can shift that dynamic. This webinar features guest presenter Jeffrey W. Anthony. Jeffrey W.
