Lecture on domestic violence
October 2, 2019
Guest speaker Beverly Gooden will offer a public lecture on domestic violence, "Why
I Stayed," on Thursday, Oct. 3. The talk will be held in Schaible Auditorium from
7-8:30 p.m.
Gooden is a social activist and victim's rights advocate who created the viral #WhyIStayed movement. Her mission is for those who have not been impacted by domestic violence to understand
the complexity and intricacies of abusive relationships. There is more than what eyes
can see when it comes to survivors and all victims have their own reasons for staying
in abusive relationships.
