Nearly 200 people are in Lawrence today for a conference in which national experts are speaking on racial and economic equity at the 3rd biennial Kansas conference for ending sexual and domestic violence. The conference seeks to provide information about how to end the cycle of domestic violence that faces women today. Former Ottawa resident and Pittsburg State students for violence prevention representative Kali Clingerman is attending and is the only student presenter at the conference. She says, “There are several factors that need to be addressed.”
She adds that women living in poverty are twice as likely to experience domestic violence and people of color are more likely to live in poverty.
