Not Alone: How to Help Transgender Survivors in Detention (Part 1)

This is the first in a two-part series for rape crisis advocates who want to provide services to transgender survivors of sexual abuse in detention. The webinar covers how to communicate effectively with transgender survivors and gives an overview of life behind bars for transgender people. Michael Munson, Director of FORGE, talks about FORGE’s publication Responding to Transgender Victims of Sexual Assault and how to adapt the interventions in the guide to a prison setting. We are also joined by Kerri Cecil, a transgender woman, prisoner rape survivor, filmmaker, and activist.
