The Hunting Ground - Thursday, October 19, 6:30 p.m.
The statistics are staggering. One in five women in college are sexually assaulted, yet only a fraction of these crimes are reported, and even fewer result in punishment for the perpetrators.
The Hunting Ground
is a piercing, monumental exposé of rape culture on campuses, poised to light a fire under a national debate. Scrutinizing the gamut of elite Ivy League schools, state universities, and small colleges, filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering reveal an endemic system of institutional cover-ups,
rationalizations, victim-blaming, and denial that creates perfect storm conditions for predators to prey with impunity.

AN INVITATION TO ATTEND
2017 PACEM IN TERRIS
PEACE AND FREEDOM AWARD
|
|
Dr. Widad Akreyi is a Danish health expert, author and human rights activist of Kurdish ancestry who co-founded the human rights
organization, Defend International.
Born in Aqrah, Kurdistan region, Iraq, in 1969, she fled with her family to Mosul five years later to avoid the Iraq government's offensive
against Kurds. Violations of human rights that occurred during that and other offensives are believed to have shaped her life.
|
She is said to be
the first young woman of Middle Eastern descent to engage in advocacy efforts related to illicit trade of small arms and light weapons, gender- based violence, disarmament and international security.
Dr. Akreyi has created partner agreements with like-minded, social justice organizations. She launched campaigns to defend the rights of writers, civil society activists, children, women's rights defenders, and prisoners on death row and on hunger strikes. She also has years of ex
perience in intercultural communication and peace and international conventions. She is a recipient of the Fellowship of Reconciliation Peace Award and received a Special Prize from the National Organization for Future Generations for bridging the gap between cultures.
Award Presented by Bishop Thomas Zinkula
