The Jewish Gun Violence Prevention Roundtable presents
Domestic Violence & Firearms: A Deadly Combination
Webinar Overview
Almost 15% of American women and 6% of American men experience gun threats by an intimate partner in their lifetimes. Most women who are murdered in the US are killed by a male abusive partner, and most of these homicides are committed using firearms. A male abusive partner’s access to a firearm increases the risk of intimate partner femicide five-fold. Join the Jewish Gun Violence Prevention Roundtable and expert panelists Rob(erta) Valente (BWJP), Dorian Karp (National Domestic Violence Hotline), Rachel Apfelbaum (Police Executive Research Forum), Donna Kirshbaum (Clergy Task Force to End Domestic Abuse in the Jewish Community), and Rachel Graber (moderator, Jewish Women International) for a conversation about the intersection of domestic violence and firearms, legal remedies, and what you can do to help change the law to protect survivors and communities.
