SUMMARY:Dorothy Roberts: "How the Family Policing System Endangers Survivors and Their Children"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jane Doe Inc.\, the MA Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence. \n“Children are taken on grounds of neglect where there isn’t any evidence of severe abuse\,” said Roberts\, the author of Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families – and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World. “We could imagine a better way of dealing with the families’ and the children’s needs without resorting to this traumatic intervention of seizing children. We shouldn’t think of them as aberrant cases.” \nHow are adult and child survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence\, especially BIPOC survivors\, impacted by what we call the child welfare system? How is the family policing system connected to sexual violence and the trauma to prison pipeline?  \nMany survivors become entangled into the child welfare/family policing system in the course of their daily lives – when accessing education\, housing\, health care\, services for survivors of SA/DV and so much more. What is our role as anti-violence survivor-centered advocates in this? How can we continue to support survivors and their families when state agencies become barriers\, tools of surveillance\, and sites of increased oppression and risk of experiencing violence? \nJoin us for a virtual talk with Professor Dorothy E Roberts who will explore these tensions and provide insight in how we can continue to support survivors and their families. \nASL & CART will be provided. Please request any other accommodation needs in your registration.\nThis session will be recorded; HOWEVER\, it will only be accessible with a protected link for a year. \nAbout Dorothy Roberts: \nDorothy Roberts is the 14th Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor and George A.
