Not Part of the Penalty: Understanding and Serving Prison Rape Survivors, NOVA
Sexual abuse behind bars is a systemic, nationwide problem. Every year, thousands of incarcerated people are sexually abused, and the vast majority of these survivors face significant barriers to reporting and getting help. In this webinar, Tara Graham of Just Detention International and Allison Hastings of Activating Change will discuss the dynamics of sexual abuse in confinement, how the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003 and the national standards that followed have created a blueprint for culture change and sexual safety, and how victim advocates can help support incarcerated survivors.
Presenters:
• Allison Hastings, Project Director of Activating Change
• Tara Graham, National Program Director of Just Detention International
