Sexual Assault Against Women In India, Chloe Haderlie

Ballard Brief

In India millions of women's lives are negatively impacted by sexual violence. Gender and cast discrimination combine to make marginalized women most likely to be affected by sexual violence. The criminal justice system struggles to both try and convict perpetrators. Practices that are most effective at changing attitudes toward gender norms target both genders, with a particular focus on males. Effective victim support provides ways for victims to reassume valuable, contributing roles in their community.

Helping Female Students Rise To Their Spiritual Privileges, Barbara Morgan Gardner

Religious Educator: Perspectives on the Restored Gospel

Recently, I asked my class of fifty Doctrine and Covenants students if they felt confident with their knowledge of the doctrines, principles, and practices associated with the priesthood. Apparently all did! I was so happy at that moment thinking that we would save several hours of class time on the topic.

Women And The Book Of Mormon: The Creation And Negotiation Of A Latter-Day Saint Tradition, Susanna Morrill
