SAFE Presents: Voices of Hope

Join SAFE (Survivors Advocating for Empowerment) for a powerful evening of reflection, awareness, and hope as we come together ahead of November 25th – the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls. This community gathering marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (Nov 25–Dec 10) — a global movement calling for the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence and abuse.

Through personal stories from survivors, meaningful discussion, and shared learning, we aim to shed light on the realities of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Gender-Based Violence, while inspiring hope, connection, and collective action.

SAFE (Survivors Advocating for Empowerment)
