The Evolution of Community - 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is a global campaign calling for the elimination of all forms of violence against women highlighting significant dates Nov. 25th - Dec. 10th. In response to the levels of relationship abuse and/or violence against women and young girls in the Cowichan Valley, Warmland Women's Support Services Society is hosting a social action workshop in support of 16 Days of Activism! We invite you to join us for breakfast, enjoy the company of the fine community that we are, and engage a dialogue about our community's role in addressing gender-based violence. This is a community workshop lead by community for community and everyone is welcome because we are all affected by GBV ? professionals, social responders, advocates, neighbours, family members, teachers, parents concerned about youth dating violence. As this event is not funded we gratefully accept donations of more than $10 for registration to help cover expenses :-) As a community our individual and collective voice has power. How we talk to each other and when we talk to each other about violence against women has a direct and dramatic impact. Join the conversation! From peace in the home to peace in the world, it starts with us! "We" are the answer we've been waiting for.
