Laura Abbott, victims’ rights advocate, will offer a presentation at Arkansas Tech University on Wednesday, Oct. 3.
Her 50-minute presentation will begin at noon in Doc Bryan Student Services Center room 133. Attendees are invited to bring their lunch and a beverage.
Abbott’s presentation will focus on Act 873 of the 90th Arkansas General Assembly, a law that created Laura’s Card as a resource for survivors of domestic and dating violence.
“As a survivor of vehicular assault, I know violence is about control,” said Abbott. “I have high hopes that Laura’s Card will educate and empower victims and their families. Information and available resources help victims take back their lives. Victims and their families are entitled to rights and resources that will assist them in their journey to recovery. It is my hope that tragedy will be turned to triumph, and victims will become victors.”
