From Words to Weapons Episode 13 features a panel discussion about supporting survivors of violence.
The conversation focuses on how policy takes shape to support survivors of violence, how the definition of crime versus violence can affect whether someone qualifies for support, and the impact of the Victims of Crime Act or VOCA. The discussion also touches on various challenges including funding cuts and how violence often goes underreported as well as policy solutions.
The panel discussion was hosted by the Women of Fels at the University of Pennsylvania’s Fels Institute of Government and presented in partnership with the Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia, Morgan State University's Department of Nursing and Obscured.
