Meeting Description: |
|
Sexist
and anti-feminist websites claim that a majority of women's rape
allegations are false. Unfortunately, pro-victim advocacy has lagged in
its response to these assertions. This webinar examines the tactics used
to disparage victims' reports, and will offer critical rebuttal of the
flawed research and methods favored by skeptics. It will also offer tips
on how to respond to critics and skeptics during community outreach
dialogues.
This webinar is FREE for CCASA members and is $10 for non-members. You will receive payment information upon registering. |
