The Higher Education Center is pleased to make the following announcements:

1) Webinar on the "Violence in the Lives of People Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing"

The National Online Resource Center on Violence Against Women (NRCDV) is pleased to invite you to a Webinar on the topic of "Violence in the Lives of People
Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing." This Webinar will be offered on Tuesday,
July 28th from 4pm to 5:30pm (EDT) OR Wednesday, July 29th from 10am to 11:30am
(EDT).

This Webinar is part of a series of resources and information developed by the
NRCDV, and its collaborators, on issues related to violence against women with
disabilities and Deaf women. This past June, the NRCDV posted a special
collection on this subject on the National Online Resource Center on Violence
Against Women (VAWnet.org). You can view this collection and provide feedback

Gretchen Waech, the Webinar presenter, is the former Executive Director of Deaf Iowans Against Abuse and the Justice for Deaf Victims National Coalition. Gretchen is
a proud Deaf woman and adult child of hearing parents with particular expertise
on the intersection of domestic and sexual violence and the Deaf culture. This
Webinar will provide participants with information about the Deaf culture as
well as tools for advocates and other professionals to better meet the needs of
Deaf victims/survivors of sexual and domestic violence in local communities.
