In an effort to combat the rise of relationship violence in popular novels, we would like to offer an opportunity to shine a light on the reality of dating violence and how to recognize if an act or behavior is criminal or just in bad taste. We hope to offer a counterbalance to the ever-growing nature of violence and lack of consent in novels, paired with the inability to know how to respond when faced with harassment or violence. If someone is not safe, that is not romance.
Join us as we welcome a presentation by local personal protection expert and author of the book "The Timeline of Self-Defense", Randy King. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
We are also eager to welcome a presenter from the Sexual Assault Center of Edmonton (SACE), who will speak about how to counter the normative sexual violence in our community and how victims can get support. The $5 from each ticket will be donated to SACE's work in support of preventing sexual violence.
