This virtual event will provide participants an understanding of gender-based violence and MMIWR, illustrate the connection of DV/IPV/SV to the crisis, and how advocates/providers can recognize how they can utilize their advocacy to help fight the MMIWR crisis. Gender-based violence are harmful acts committed against folks from varying gender identities – women/femme, trans, non-binary, and two-spirit. 

Training Objectives:
  • Discuss the correlation of DV/IPV/SV that can lead to the causation of MMIWR.
  • Determine how advocates and providers can better serve and protect transgender women and relatives to end gender-based violence.
  • Engage in a workshop with a MMIWR family advocate to determine how you can recognize ways to support survivors and be a part of the solution to the MMIWR crisis.
