Many young people are unwitting
victims of physical and sexual violence in the context of
courtship. For young females in particular, the experience of
victimization may be the most defining characteristic of some
relationships. Sadly, many who are exploited by others whom they
trust are slow to recognize the abusive interactions that harm
them. This workshop explores two related themes of important to
law enforcement, educators, prosecutors, medical personal,
parents and friends. First, in order to avoid abusive partners,
what must we know to recognize the often-subtle forms of
manipulation that define harmful relationships? Second, how can
we minister to those who are victims of such exploitation? In
ach instance, this talk will focus on the character of the
problem with an eye toward practical strategies for change. |
