Cyber abuses, including image-based sexual abuse, are skyrocketing and communities, legal systems, and policymakers are scrambling to keep up. Allison will give an overview of these new and constantly evolving abuses, what our legal and justice systems are doing to address them, and areas for improvement. She will also discuss why victims are reluctant to come forward and what we can do to prevent these abuses.
Approximately 400,000 children are in foster care in the United States, a staggering number. All too often the systems charged with protecting those children fail. But child welfare systems can be reformed—from the inside out or through litigation, if necessary. Allison has spent several years investigating child welfare systems and launching class action lawsuits against state actors, alleging violations of children’s civil rights. She will highlight some of the common issues facing child welfare systems in the United States and ways in which they can improve
Lawyers and advocates often shy away from proactive interaction with the media for fear that engagement risks having a negative impact on their cases or will further traumatize their clients. But, if done correctly, informing the public can be a powerful tool. It can give victims a voice, put pressure on the opposing side to engage in settlement negotiations, and establish a supportive audience for clients. Allison explains how lawyers can tell their clients' sensitive stories and provide litigation updates to the media, while being mindful of their pending court cases.
Does your organization work with victims of abuse with individuals who have experienced severe trauma? Do you struggle to effectively communicate with and support them? Allison will explain how trauma manifests in clients and why it is critical that advocates prioritize both survivors' rights and wishes as well as the wellbeing of staff. Allison will explain how to create sound organizational policies and communication strategies around these issues.
