The Women’s Center welcomes Dylan Farrow as the keynote speaker for our 2022 EmPower Luncheon! This event honors the courageous voices of survivors, those who advocate for survivors, and those who speak out to affect change. Survivor, activist, and change-maker, Farrow is all three.
Dylan Farrow is an author, mother, activist, and the survivor at the heart of the Emmy-nominated docuseries, Allen v. Farrow. She has written about her story in essays for the New York Times and Los Angeles Times. She has also spoken out in interviews for CBS This Morning and The Drew Barrymore Show. Dylan is the author of Hush and the upcoming sequel, Veil, and continues to advocate for survivors of sexual abuse; and regularly works with the nonprofit organization Jane Doe No More. She recently helped pass SB 654 in California, which prevents unsupervised visitation with parents with a history of abuse and creates a safe process for child testimony in custody disputes.
