Confronting Sexual Harassment: A Workshop with Dr. Jackson Katz: Tuesday, March 6, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
#MeToo has exposed the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and abuse in the lives of women across all sectors. Traditional sexual harassment training is not sufficient to create a culture of respect for women and men. This workshop will explore the roots of sexual harassment and propose new ways for everyone to take action. The session will be led by Dr. Jackson Katz, an internationally recognized educator, author, filmmaker and activist and a founding architect of the “bystander” approach to prevention.
This workshop is open to the public and will take place at Rodef Shalom Congregation. Register here. The program will cost $25 if you RSVP by Feb 20; and $35 after. Student discount and scholarships available.
Hosted by Southwest PA Says NO MORE. Sponsored by FISA Foundation, Jewish Healthcare Foundation, The Heinz Endowments and The Pittsburgh Foundation.
