SafetyCast 10 Do You Consent
from Hands On Safety
Show Description In the last few months there has been a movement in the blindness community to bring sexual abuse and harassment to light and take steps to put an end to it. On this episode, Leslie, George and Meaghan welcome Laura Millar, a researcher and teacher of sexual health for people with disabilities, and Bobbi Pompey, a living skills instructor at the Lighthouse for the Blind in San Fransisco, to discuss consent and boundaries, not only in relationships but in our everyday interactions as well. If you have been a victim of sexual assault or would like more information, visit RAINN or call 1-800-656-HOPE.
