Gender-Based Violence in Our Community

Meet the leaders of YWCA’s programs for African American survivors and learn about the impact of gender-based violence in our community.

At YWCA, we know that not all violence is acknowledged or responded to equally, and that some victims go unrecognized altogether. That’s why we work every day to end gender-based violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking.

Join us for a conversation with the leaders of YWCA's programs for African American women survivors and learn about the impact of gender-based violence in our community. This event will kick off YWCA's "Week Without Violence: Black, Bold & Brave" from October 18 - 24. 

Featured speakers for this session include:

  • Patricia Hayden, Chief Program Officer (YWCA)
  • Doris O'Neal, Director of Gender-Based Violence Specialized Services (YWCA)
