Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is set to give the opening address to her Midwest counterparts aimed at preventing and addressing gender-based violence.
The two-day conference will cover issues including domestic abuse and sexual assaults on college campuses.
Madigan is the chairwoman of the Midwest region's National Association of Attorneys General. The group is comprised of attorneys general from 11 states.
Madigan helped draft legislation that requires college campuses to have policies about reporting incidents and notifying survivors of their rights.
Attorneys general from ten states – including Wisconsin and Iowa – are expected to attend.
