About this Event

Focus on LGBT+ ageing, equality and the inclusion of older people from sexual and gender minority groups

Hosted by the Centre for Research in Health and Social Care, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol. To coincide with the Bristol Pride Festival 2019.

When: Thursday 4th July 2019, 2-4pm.

Jessica Eaton delivers this unique workshop based on up to date of psychological research and many years of front line practice, and will explore the ways in which women and girls are blamed for sexual violence - and the ways they blame themselves.

We will look at the prevalence of victim blaming of women and the findings from her new study which surveyed the general population about how much they would blame women for sexual violence committed against them.
