Keeping Women and Children Safe Forum
Event Information
About this Event
The Inner West Domestic Violence Liaison Committee would like to invite you to participate and engage in a forum as part of the 16 Days of Activism. This annual international campaign commences on 25th November, which is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and ends on 10th December, the Human Rights Day.
The forum will explore issues and themes that foster or prevent the safety of women and children. There will be keynote speakers and a panel discussion centred around a case study. This experience will allow you to gain insight on these issues from an eclectic mix of presenters.
This is an online forum and the webinar link will be sent to you in the week leading up of the workshop.
