Violence Against Women and Girls of Haiti: V-Day Boston's 2011 Spotlight Teach-In (Awareness Raising Event)

The Women's Forum at the United Nations Association of Greater Boston

and

Suffolk University's Center for Women's Health & Human Rights,

are proud to bring you an evening of expertise that will raise awareness on the most critical issues for women and girls in Haiti today. Each year, the International V-Day campaign increases awareness by focusing on a specific group of women in the world who are resisting violence with courage and vision. In 2011, V-Day's Spotlight Campaign will shine on the Women and Girls of Haiti.

 

The Spotlight will include a live PowerPoint presentation and panel discussion on the extreme levels of violence against women and girls in Haiti, and will focus on the increased rates of sexual violence since the devastating earthquake that took place in January 2010. 

 

Suggested donations of $10.00 are welcome and will directly support a revolutionary national campaign in Haiti lead by a coalition of women activists, including longtime V-Day activist Elvire Eugene, that will address sexual violence through art, advocacy and legal services.

Join us and stand for the women and girls of Haiti this V-Day season!
