The Queens campus of St. John’s will  recognize those victims of violence who come from “many different countries, races, religions, and socioeconomic statuses, and to take a stand against all power-based personal violence that often occurs in personal relationships.”

Turn off the Violence Week promotes “awareness, empowerment, and action in response to sexual violence in our community.”
