Sexual Violence: An International Perspective

3rd Expert chat in "Series on Sexual Violence"
September 25, 2008: 12 pm - 2 pm (EDT)
Online event. Registration required, and free of charge.

The United Nations estimates that, worldwide, one in five women will become a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. Violence against women during or after armed conflicts has been reported in every war-zone. Between 250,000 and 500,000 women were raped during the genocide in Rwanda; between 20,000 and 50,000 women were raped during the conflict in Bosnia.

Please join us for a provocative discussion that will examine sexual violence from an international perspective.

This online event is the third of four in the Series on Sexual Violence, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice and the Government Innovators Network. Ample time will be allocated for audience Q&A.
