Large Group Discussion
You run an after school program at a local high school and a 15 year old girl discloses to you that her mother’s live-in boyfriend has been touching her inappropriately after he and her mom partied all night. This young girl has a tone of determination when she says that she’s been keeping a large knife in her room and if he comes at her again, she will kill him.

Large Group Discussion
As a result of reporting the abuse of a 15 year old girl, you learn that reporting sexual assault to the police is discouraged in this community. You are told that the police are “all white” and don’t care about the African American population. They aren’t to be trusted and inactive. You are also told that victims have been put through terrible interrogations when they’ve reported. Not only does the community distrust the police, but for those who were lucky enough to see their abusers arrested, the court system made the victim into the “bad guy” and no justice was done. As a result, the abortion rate for young girls is high as is the use of alcohol and marijuana. You also learn that many of the young people coming into your program are young women who have been repeatedly sexually assaulted.

Your supervisor asks you to put together a grant proposal for a program targeting Hmong families in the community. You know nothing about the population and are unable to find research to support the need for a program. When you tell the supervisor the circumstances, she tells you to make something up because the organization needs the money to keep other programs going too.
