This year’s event promises to deliver much needed inspiration by highlighting the women who are courageously speaking out about their past abuse and harassment through the #MeToo movement; the women who are working tirelessly to end violence against women and children and to change the culture that allows it to continue; the women who are working to recruit more young women in STEM education; the women who are working to pass the ERA; and the women who are running for office to give women equal representation in our government.
OUR SPEAKERS:
KEYNOTE: Dr. Gail Dines.
Dr. Dines is Professor Emerita of Sociology and Women’s Studies at Wheelock College in Boston, an internationally acclaimed speaker, author, and a feminist public intellectual. Dr. Dines is also Founder and President of Culture Reframed, a non-profit organization that takes a public health approach to prevent, build resilience to, and ultimately eradicate the harms of pornography.
