Worldwide, at least one in three women are victims of violence. It is the most pervasive human rights violation on earth--present in every country, every culture, every religion, every class.
But around the globe, women are joining forces and speaking out, advocating for new laws, and developing successful strategies to eradicate gender-based violence. The challenges are many. But the mission is clear: bring an end to the culture of violence and forge a new path to a culture of peace and human rights for all.
In Women's Learning Partnership’s new film, leading experts and activists from across the globe discuss the root causes of gender-based violence, share strategies to combat it, and provide inspiring accounts of the important milestones already achieved through the international women’s movement.
This event is free and open to all.
Fariba Parsa, PhD of Social Sciences, Visiting Scholar with the Center for Gender and Conflict will host the event and will give an introduction to the film by the Women's Learning Partnership.
