In addition to Senator Warren’s remarks, Keynote Speaker Dr. Robert Shoop, and our 10 knowledge & skill building Sessions, we are happy to announce our new luncheon program featuring four outstanding Survivor/Advocates.
Preventing sexual abuse requires a range of strategies, including mobilizing for policy and legislative changes. The effort to reform Statute of Limitations in sexual abuse cases is one example of how the prevention movement has greatly benefited from the activism of adult survivors whose powerful voices are being heard in their communities and on Beacon Hill. Angeline Clancy, Kathy Picard, Kathryn Robb, and Roseanne Sliney will speak about the experiences, motivations and visions that are at the core of their work to end sexual abuse. We will also hear from citizen/advocate Robert Kelly about why institutions that oppose SOL reform must engage in building “overlapping consensus” based on principles of justice and moral reasoning.
