.@brendatracy24 @sjquinney Mandatory reporting takes the power of reporting away from the victim - "Again, a second time, taking away the victim's power and control."

[Utah Law Symposium @ULaw_Symposium]

.@brendatracy24 @sjquinney Brenda cautions against "mob mentality" of making everyone a mandatory reporter - consider the trauma dealt to the victim

[Utah Law Symposium @ULaw_Symposium]

.@brendatracy24 @sjquinney "Nobody said 'that's rape, that's not okay.' Our silence is our consent. When we stay silent, we are no better than the perpetrator." Brenda

[Utah Law Symposium @ULaw_Symposium]

.@brendatracy24 @sjquinney "For me, we really have to talk to our men. Our men are our bystanders." - Brenda

However Prof. Deer explains that it is unusual for her to support this position, as she is a strong advocate of #tribalsovereignty

[Utah Law Symposium @ULaw_Symposium]

Prof. Deer advocates for a new federal task force to address #sexualviolence in Indian country - feds need to stop being passive #bystander

[Utah Law Symposium @ULaw_Symposium]

Prof. Deer explains that high rate of Fed. prosecutors rejecting cases from indian country is predominantly because of evidentiary problems

[Utah Law Symposium @ULaw_Symposium]

Prof. Deer explains that tribal nations lack jurisdiction over sexual abuse - our federal government, a #bystander, needs to step up

[Utah Law @sjquinney]
