In
August, 2005, I was very honored to make four different
speeches at the 17th Meeting of the International Association
of Forensic Sciences ("IAFS") in Hong Kong. I
am the first victim/survivor to ever address this group.
I felt like a pioneer woman must have felt moving across
America in the eighteen hundreds, crossing where nobody
had been before. Being a voice for victim/survivors worldwide
was grand, necessary and overdue.
