The Human Rights Education Project of the Salt Lake City Community Empowerment group collaborated with the Women Of the World Organization to present a workshop about Sexual Violence Prevention last Saturday.
There were 35 people in attendance at the workshop & five different nationalities (Iraq, Jordan, Nepal, Karenni & Karen). We had 4 interpreters help to get the information to the ladies and men. The subjects was very interesting, educational, and helpful to them. They were all involved with reading the stories and discussing the problems, how to prevent them, and what they would do if they had the problem in their house. The audience was very lively and involved with the material. When I gave a ride to the ladies, they were talking about it in the car & thanking me for giving them the opportunity to be involved in this subject.
I appreciate the Mayor’s Office for giving us the opportunity to do this workshop. Thank you very much for Alana Kindness & Stephany Murguia for giving the lecture, it was very valuable and the material was very understandable. Thank you to Amy Wylie for donating the hygiene products to the audience. Thank you very much for the interpreters, for without them, the material would never be understood.
