About
Co-presenters Megan Koontz and Noemi Reyes will tackle the topic of "Creating Faith Based Sexual Violence Programming at Religious Colleges and Universities." The co-presenters will dive into the historical background of abuse within religious communities and how victims are perceived, along with how abuse is talked about in religious circles.
Additionally, the co-presenters will discuss the psyche of religious victims, specific barriers that exist for religious victims/victims that attend a religious university, and how to help alleviate those barriers through sexual violence programming.
