Kenyatta Mickles / March 2012
Kenyatta co-presented a teleconference entitled, “Freedom from Domestic Violence as a Human Right.” The teleconference was sponsored by the American Bar Association Commission on Domestic and Sexual Violence and UC Law. There were 89 registered listeners for this teleconference from all across the country. Kenyatta’s leadership on this issue was firmly established last fall when the Cincinnati City Council enacted a resolution declaring that freedom from domestic violence is a fundamental human right and that it is a responsibility of state and local governments to secure this human right on behalf of its citizens. Three UC Law and Domestic Violence Clinic students, under Kenyatta’s supervision, introduced the idea of passing this resolution to Cincinnati City Council. To our knowledge, Cincinnati was the first city to pass such a resolution. Other cities are working to do the same.
