"America's backyard has been the playground for perpetrators to abuse and assault women and children. I am sickened by the constant news headlines that fill our local and national news with the sexual abuse that takes place in our society." said Holly K. Dunn
Former RAINN spokesperson, a woman of inspiration and the Sole Survivor of the Infamous Railroad Killer, Holly K. Dunn will begin her speaking tour across the country as she engages university students on the topics of sexual assault and the prevention of abuse.
Beginning in March 2018, Dunn will be speaking to the Penn State Justice Association as their keynote speaker. Penn State Justice Association stated "As students who study Criminology, it is particularly difficult to conceptualize the events and topics we study at arm's length. We are so excited Holly agreed to come in and share her experience as not only an educational tool but also as a lesson in strength, resilience and turning a horrific experience into an opportunity to give back." --Brittany Miraldi, President Penn State Justice Association
