Peace Over Violence: Movements Matter

Guest Patti Giggans and host Elaine Miller-Karas, LCSW, share their insights on this episode of “Resiliency Within: Building Resiliency in Unprecedented Times.”

From civil rights, to violence against women, to disability and LGBTQ rights, to the current Black Lives Matter and MeToo, movements shape what is important and impact policy and culture. Patti Giggans is the Executive Director/CEO at Peace over Violence and has been an advocate, author and movement leader. Peace Over Violence came into existence out of the feminist violence against women movement in the late sixties/early seventies. This year POV celebrates its 50th year. POV operates the longest running sexual and domestic violence hotline in the country and are the originators of Denim Day–a sexual violence prevention campaign now in its 22nd year.
