Dr. Ludy Green has such a powerful story that is shaped by her own life experiences. Her background in human resource management has lead to the successful establishment of the only employment agency for victims of domestic abuse, and aptly prepared her to successfully lobby the US Congress to pass national legislation protecting the rights of domestic violence victims and their dependents.

Dr. Ludy Green’s keynote presentation was the highpoint for our conference. Her own story of growing up in domestic violence, breaking free, starting Second Chance Employment Services, and successfully lobbying the US Congress to pass a key provision of the Violence Against Women (VAWA) captivated the audience from start to finish!

Dr. Green’s keynote speech was the highlight of our conference, cogently presenting the global stain of domestic violence on our communities and our mission to combat it. She moved our audience in sharing her own story of growing up in domestic violence, establishing the first employment agency in the U.S. for victims, and the power of integrated partnerships to permanently free victims from abuse.
