Speaker: LySaundra Campbell, Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence
Description: The workforce has changed over the past couple decades from
people working harder to people working smarter. As technology has become an essential component of our daily lives, we must rethink our role in responding to and preventing domestic and sexual violence. Some people misuse technology to abuse, stalk or harass. However, each of us has a critical role to play as technology safety advocates to increase safety and privacy for survivors, hold people who cause harm accountable, and utilize digital spaces as tools for social change. This session will allow participants to gain a better understanding of technology and safety planning for victims, including ways to protect yourself online.
2:30 — 2:40 PM 10 MINUTE BREAK 2:40 — 3:30 PM MOSCA PRESENTATION Topic: The Role of Pornography in Violence Against Women Speaker: Sarah O’Keefe, MA, LPC, Therapist, MOSCA Description: Research has shown that 88% of the 50 most viewed pornographic films portray violence against women. Pornography often does not portray true consent, influencing the way people engage in sex with their partners, supporting sexual violence. Pornography also promotes myths of what peoples’ bodies look like; these unrealistic examples can affect viewers’ perceptions of themselves, their bodies, and that of their partners. This presentation will allow participants to understand the negative influence pornography plays on domestic violence and what can be done to counter-act these cultural effects. 3:30 — 3:40 PM 10 MINUTE BREAK 3:40 — 4:30 PM KANSAS CITY POLICE DEPARMENT PRESENTATION Topic: Revenge Porn and Sexstortion
