In recent years, women have been “leading the charge” in educating and serving the polygamous community. However, both men and women, and even teenagers, from inside the polygamous culture have spoken out publicly in order to dispel stereotypes and to educate Fundamentalist Mormon families.

Two people from each of these perspectives will discuss their recent, interesting, mostly behind-the-scenes, activities in serving polygamous families.
