The Department of Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH) will host the fifth annual Domestic Violence Seminar on Monday and Tuesday, March 27 and 28, to address both the ways communities can prevent violence against women and the human rights implications of the problem.
Events will take place in the Winslow Auditorium of the Laboratory of Epidemiology and Public Health, 60 College St. All events are free and open to the public; each event will be followed by a reception.
At the first of two events on Monday, Karen Burch of Yale-New Haven Hospital and Kate Parenteau of the Domestic Violence Training Project in New Haven will host an interactive session at noon titled "Personal & Political Implications of Domestic Violence." This session will include an assessment of domestic violence in community settings and a group discussion of current policy initiatives aimed at addressing domestic violence in the United States. Enrollment is limited for this event.
Later that day at 5 p.m., Jacquelyn Campbell of Johns Hopkins University will lead a discussion titled "Community Action & Domestic Violence Prevention." Topics will include the changes in public opinion on domestic violence in the United States and the lessons that can be taken from other cultures concerning community action and individual responsibility in violence prevention.
On Tuesday at 5 p.m., Carrie Cuthbert and Kim Slote, founders of the Women's Rights Network, will explore "Violence Against Women as a Human Rights Issue: New Perspectives & Strategies." They will provide an overview of their program's strategies to address human rights dimensions of domestic violence in the United States and discuss the implications of their work internationally.
In conjunction with the Domestic Violence Seminar, the Connecticut Silent Witness Exhibit, a traveling memorial to women murdered by their partners in acts of domestic violence, is now on display in the main rotunda of the Sterling Hall of Medicine, 333 Cedar St.
