Safe distance from violence
Dr. Ludy Green has been working on domestic violence issues and solutions by getting domestic and world leaders to acknowledge her vision. Her efforts were instrumental in getting new language introduced to the updated Violence Against Women Act in 2013. Green will discuss her recent book, which outlines how a woman can regain her independence, her well-being and her dignity by distancing herself from her former abuser through employment. Green's “Ending Domestic Violence Captivity: A Guide to Economic Freedom” starts at 3 p.m. at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive.
