In an article published by Backdrop Magazine, Jennifer Seifert is featured for her leadership in dismantling rape culture and supporting members of the Appalachian community through education, advocacy, and systemic change.
Jen highlights the importance of examining every system a person may encounter and ensuring it is empowering, not retraumatizing.
From prevention programs focused on economic empowerment to bystander intervention training and comprehensive sex education, Jen emphasizes that dismantling rape culture starts with challenging everyday norms—and building inclusive, respectful environments that uplift community members at every level.
“We’re launching a new prevention program that focuses on economic empowerment because what we know is if you provide economic support to women, girls and families, it prevents child abuse, sexual violence and domestic violence.”— Jennifer Seifert, as quoted in Backdrop Magazine, story by McKenna Christy
