1 SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN LATER LIFE: YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! SESSION 3: ROOM A TUESDAY, MAY 1, :30 5:30 PM During the past 30 years, communities have improved their efforts in recognizing and responding to sexual victimization however, attention to older adults as potential victims continues to lag. Society wants to deny that sexual violence can occur with our older population and, all too often, elders are left without an appropriate community response when they are victimized. This interactive workshop will begin with an overview on Abuse in Later Life, including what it is, where it occurs, and who are the victims and perpetrators of these crimes. Videos of actual older survivors will be used to assist the audience in understanding the dynamics of sexual abuse in later life. Participants will explore some of the barriers that might exist for older participants and how historical, generational, cultural, and spiritual values impact older victims of abuse. ANN TURNER Ann Turner has been working in the domestic and sexual assault victim services field since Ann has been presenting on Abuse in Later Life issues throughout the United States since 2002 when she starting working the National Clearinghouse on Abuse in Later Life (NCALL). NCALL is the technical assistance provider for the Office on Violence Against Women s (OVW) Abuse in Later Life Grant. As the Elder Victim Services and Advocacy Coordinator, Ann is responsible for working with communities, including domestic and sexual assault victim service programs, on improving services to enhance the safety and the quality of life of older victims and survivors. Ann works out of her home in northern Wisconsin. Cultural Relevancy Beginning Interactive

2 PEER EDUCATION & VIOLENCE PREVENTION SESSION 3: ROOM C TUESDAY, MAY 1, :30 5:00 PM In line with the conference theme of Generations/Generaciones, this workshop will focus on how violence prevention educators can foster the educative potential of youth in their communities. Participants will learn about peer-led prevention education as a model for expanding sustainable sexual violence prevention work. This workshop will provide the basic principles behind peer education, and discuss both the day-to-day and long-term process of maintaining and training a team of peer educators. Participants will hear from fellow advocates/prevention educators on their experiences, successes, and obstacles of the Palouse Teen Council in Pullman, and will walk away with some tips and thoughts to apply to their own community youth. Presenters will share the foundation and philosophy behind peer education, specifically focused on sexual assault prevention. Drawing from the experiences of ATVP prevention educators and advocates, presenters will offer ways in which agencies can work in their community to initiate peer-led violence prevention education. We will assist prevention educators and advocates in imagining the possibilities for community partnerships to make a peer-education council successful in their locale. VANESSA CORWIN & HARLEY BROWN Harley Brown is the Coordinator of Sexual Assault Services at Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse located in Pullman, Washington. Since graduating from Western Washington University in 2014, she has served as an AmeriCorps volunteer in Great Falls, Montana, moved to the Palouse, adopted a cat, started backpacking through the Rockies, and began her career in advocacy for survivors of sexual violence.

3 ENHANCING THE RIGHTS & SAFETY FOR PEOPLE IN THE SEX TRADE: FINDING A COMMON GROUND BEYOND THE PROSTITUTION DEBATE SESSION 3: ROOM E TUESDAY, MAY 1, :30 5:00 PM Public discussions over the issue of sex trade, sex work, and sex trafficking are often polarized between those who view sexual labor as a form of labor that deserves the same respect and protections that other workers receive, and those who oppose it categorically because it is inseparable from sexual violence and human trafficking. The resulting stalemate prevents feminists from forging a united front on advancing truly survivor-centered policies to empower people experiencing violence and exploitation within sex trade, regardless of the varying degree of choice, circumstance, and coercion that may have played in their participation in the trade. Instead, public policies are dominated by the law enforcement and social service agencies that work closely with them, repeating the errors of the earlier anti-dv/sa movements that placed too much emphasis on prosecution, neglecting the concerns of women of color and others that further criminalization of their communities did not make them any safer. Founded in March 2017, the Coalition for Rights & Safety for People in the Sex Trade is a network of over a dozen concerned community groups in Seattle/King County area working to find common grounds to promote policies that enhance human rights and safety for people in the sex trade. This workshop explores ways in which feminists of different stripes can move beyond the polarizing "prostitution debate" and work toward promoting a truly survivor-centered policies and advocacy for people in the sex trade, that is, an alternative to the dominant view that center prisons and prosecution as the key to fighting sexual violence and sex trafficking. EMI KOYAMA Emi Koyama is a multi-issue social justice activist, writer, and public speaker synthesizing feminist, Asian, survivor, dyke, queer, sex worker, intersex, genderqueer, and disability politics, as these factors, while not a complete descriptor of who she is, all impacted her life. She has given trainings and lectures at various local as well as national conferences, organizations, and universities. Since March 2017, Emi has coordinated the Coalition for Rights & Safety for People in the Sex Trade, a network of over a dozen concerned community groups in Seattle/King County area working to find common grounds to promote policies that enhance human rights and safety for people in the sex trade.

4 THE INS AND OUTS OF HOLISTIC SERVICES SESSION 3: ROOM F TUESDAY, MAY 1, :30 5:00 PM OCVA is excited to host representatives from three different programs to discuss the ins and outs of holistic sexual assault services. From trauma informed yoga to art and writing workshops to wellness healing circles, this panel will share details about the holistic services they are providing, as well as the planning and implementation steps it took to get these programs going. With lots of time for questions and open discussion, the panel will also reflect on how this holistic work intersects with their other sexual assault services, and the impacts that it has had on survivors and staff. ROCIO CHAVEZ DE ALVARADO, LAURA WEST, BRENDA POITRA, & TRISHA SMITH Rocio Chavez de Alvarado immigrated to the United States from Mexico in As a new comer, she has experienced the acculturation and adjustment process to the American society. Rocio earned a Bachelor s degree from The Evergreen State College-Tacoma and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Washington Tacoma. Throughout her professional life in the United States, Rocio has served the immigrant and refugee communities, particularly in the area of services to victims of crime. Currently, Rocio is the manager of the Client Advocacy Program at Tacoma Community House. I m Laura West, and I am the SA Program Advocacy Specialist at the YWCA Clark County. I believe everyone has their own healing preferences and practices, and I have learned that many healthy and beneficial habits are often already a part of daily life, disguised as habits. Sometimes we overlook the powerful healing techniques that our instinct leads us towards; be it certain scents, sounds, or movements, even tastes, and textures. As an advocate, I enjoy empowering and exciting people about the little things in their life they can shift, to make a big difference. I feel that to bring holistic practices such as art, music, and movement... shines bright, intentional light into the murky journey many face after a trauma. Brenda Poitra: I am enrolled with the Three Affiliated Tribes of Ft, Berthold North Dakota, Arikara specifically, part Turtle Mt Chippewa and Northern Cheyenne. My current position is as a sexual assault advocate for the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe for the past 3 years. I provide services of advocacy for sexual assault victims and their families. I also assist as needed with DV victims, victims of crime, employee issues and other advocacy tribal members may need. I provide holistic wellness services for our Behavioral and CD programs to include Reiki healing sessions, Detox footbaths, spiritual healing sessions, Life Path card readings and women s community sweat lodge ceremony. We have found that all of our clients benefit greatly with the holistic approach in their recovery process. My services are utilized by tribal members, employees and the local community area residents. I have 20 years experience in the social services field and training from various Native American spiritual healers. My specialty is women s healing and Earth wisdom including my own women s healing quest in the mountains of New Mexico. Trisha Smith has been engaged in advocacy and social change work in Washington for nearly 14 years. Currently managing the Sexual Assault Services Program at the Office of Crime Victims Advocacy (OCVA), she

5 provides input on statewide funding strategies, helps develop grant programs, provides support to grantees, and supervises staff. Trisha s prior experience as an advocate, a program manager, and a technical assistance provider at state and national levels helps inform her work. She is really looking forward to talking more about the holistic services that organizations are offering and thinking about, and is excited we currently have resources in our state to dedicate to this work. 2 General Advocacy Intermediate Panel
