Sexual Violence is a Public Health Crisis: From Awareness to Solvability

​If sexual violence were treated as a public health crisis, how would our response be different? This fireside will explore why sexual violence must be understood not only as a justice issue, but as a systemic and solvable public health issue with wide-reaching social and economic impacts. This conversation is a necessary, and often overlooked, part of the work toward gender equity. Bringing together survivor advocates, public health experts, policymakers and funders, the discussion will focus on what disrupting sexual violence looks like in practice, what systems need to change, and what it would take to move from awareness to solvability.
