Domestic and Sexual Violence Subject of Film Series
The recently formed Perry Empowerment Task Force (PETF) is partnering with the Perry County Council of the Arts to host a series of films on the subject of domestic and sexual violence. PETF was founded with an initial goal of providing safe transitional housing for victims of domestic violence, a goal that was achieved with the local establishment of Linda House thanks to funding by the YWCA Greater Harrisburg. Currently PETF seeks to make county residents aware of the prevalence and dangerous reality of domestic and sexual violence, the danger signs for potential as well as actual abuse, and concrete ways we can respond to, and minimize, this violence. The series will be introduced by Leslie Morgan Steiner, author and blogger, at 7:00pm on Friday, March 8, 2013 at the Landis House in Newport. Ms. Steiner’s best selling book, “Crazy Love”, chronicles her experiences in a violently abusive first marriage; experiences she shares in an effort to shed light and information on this dark, often hidden, problem. She is no stranger to Perry County having spent two summers as a camper at Longacre Leadership, later returning for three more summers as a counselor. A graduate of Harvard College and the University of Pennsylvania, School of Business Administration, former editor of Seventeen Magazine, author of best-seller “The Mommy Wars”, guest blogger for the Huffington Post, and creator of her own national blog, Modern Mom, Ms. Steiner now lives and writes in Washington D.C. but she continues to visit Perry County friends. Films to be shown on subsequent Friday evenings are: March 22: “Telling Amy’s Story” about a woman in State College killed by her abusive husband; April 12: “Boys and Men Healing” focuses on the lingering effects of sexual violence; and April 26: “The Sin of Silence” about women in prison for killing their abusers. Films are being provided by the YWCA Greater Harrisburg. The Perry County Council of the Arts is providing both venue and popcorn, and PETF is providing soft drinks. The evenings are free and open to the public. Young people of dating age are encouraged to attend.
