In recent years, sexual violence in Northeast Ohio made national and international headlines. Incidents in Steubenville and on Cleveland's Seymour Avenue put a national spotlight on these communities.

This community conversation will shed light on the broader issue of sexual violence with a focus on intervention, prevention programs, restorative justice, and initiatives to empower survivors and their support networks.
