 \nViolence Against Women: Divisiveness\, Power and Control\, the Legal Lan
 dscape and the Role of Men. When we think of “gendered violence”—sexual ha
 rassment\, sexual assault\, sexual exploitation\, domestic and dating viol
 ence\, stalking and human trafficking—we think of this as a “women’s issue
 ”—a crime that happens to women\, impacts primarily women\, and one that w
 omen stand up and talk about.  But gendered violence is not a “women’s iss
 ue.”  It is a public health issue and a human rights issue that impacts al
 l of us.  This keynote will discuss the concept of “difference” and the di
 visiveness within our culture that puts men against women in framing the c
 onversation\; will discuss the role of men and their importance in changin
 g this narrative\; will dispel myths commonly held about what sexual haras
 sment and non-stranger sexual assault really look like\; will evaluate the
  current legal landscape and the role of “force” in the criminal justice r
 esponse to victims across North America\; and will build hope in terms of 
 discussing what we can all do within our communities to change the story f
 or the next woman.\n\n \n
