About this event
The YWCA of Greater Portland offers advocacy training on a weekly basis at our downtown location on SW 10th ave. Please go to the YWCA website under events to see other trainings and to register.
DV 101 offers an introduction to the underlying root causes of violence against women. We will define and discuss sexism and misogyny & explore the history of the movement to end violence against women. Looking broadly at the types & general dynamics of violence against women, we will learn about domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault. Then we will hone in on domestic violence specifically & discuss the role of an advocate in supporting survivors of abuse.
