SUMMARY:A backward slide of cultural acceptance of Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enlightening educational discussion as we delve into the cultural ramifications of acceptance of violence against women\, and the disconcerting trend of regression in support for women’s rights since 2016. In recent years\, despite significant strides towards gender equality\, we find ourselves confronted with a sobering reality – the persistence of violence against women and a concerning erosion of support for women’s rights. \nThis discussion aims to dissect the multifaceted layers of cultural acceptance surrounding violence against women\, shedding light on its deep-rooted implications. We will examine societal norms\, historical precedents\, media portrayals\, and institutional responses.\nJoin us as we confront uncomfortable truths and collectively strive towards a future where violence against women is unequivocally condemned\, and support for women’s rights is unwavering. \nTogether\, let us pave the path towards a more just and inclusive society for future generations.\n* REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY – LIMTED SEATING\nRSVP Here\n*DOORS OPEN AT 6:30PM
