OVC Web Forum Guest Host To Discuss Understanding Violence Against Transgender Individuals: June 6
On June 6, 2012, at 2 p.m. (eastern time), in commemoration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) will present a Web Forum discussion with Michael Munson and Rebecca Waggoner on understanding violence against transgender individuals. Michael Munson is the cofounder and Executive Director of FORGE, an organization focused on improving the lives of transgender individuals. A long-time activist, Munson has been active in the transgender/SOFFA (significant others, friends, families, and allies) community since 1994. He participates on multiple local and national advisory committees to ensure that the needs of transgender survivors are heard and addressed, and has authored numerous publications for service providers and allied professionals. Rebecca Waggoner is the Director of OutFront Minnesota’s Anti-Violence Program, where she manages all program-related activities including developing effective services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender crime victims; providing individual crisis counseling and advocacy services to victims; and developing program-related training curricula. Waggoner has worked extensively with anti-violence focused, community-based programs for more than 10 years. For more information, visit the OVC Web Forum at http://ovc.ncjrs.gov/ovcproviderforum.
