Reclaiming Our Love: Social Justice & Domestic Violence Conference

Join us in our mission to end society's tolerance of domestic violence and social injustice at our fourth Reclaiming Our Love: Social Justice & Domestic Violence Conference, hosted by The Network: Advocating Against Domestic Violence. The conference will take place in person at the Gleacher Center at Chicago Booth on Wednesday and Thursday, March 19th and 20th, 2025.

The focus of our 2025 conference is ‘advancing knowledge – refining practice’. We will continue to build on the foundations that have been set in our last three conferences and move forward with perfecting our understanding of concepts and practices that enable dismantling systemic power-based violence and creating better pathways to justice for survivors and advocates.

We hope you can join us during these two days of learning, connecting and reclaiming love!
