that emerged. This training received the highest level of
approval from the FBI who monitored the Archdiocese responses to child
sexual abuse across the country.I
was part of the initial team that co-wrote the original Violence
Against Women Act. I focused my efforts on the Safe Campuses for
Women section, and the I

stop rape in this country. DC Men Against Rape became Men Can
