About this Event
Safe Spaces, Strong Communities Wellness Event
Come join WHIWH CHC for a day of self-care exercises, craft-making, and community building as we commemorate the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Cascade.
This community mobilization and wellness gathering centers on activating community voice, collective care, and immediate engagement. We are intentionally framing wellness as a strategy for resistance, resilience, and sustained advocacy to prevent GBV in our communities and provide support to survivors.
Target Audience:

• Primary: Women (ages 18–60) from African, Caribbean, Black, Latin American, and South Asian communities – impacted by GBV and/or interested in GBV advocacy and community engagement.
• Secondary: Women community leaders and advocates serving African, Caribbean, Black, Latin American, and South Asian communities – passionate about addressing GBV and/or supporting survivors and women at risk.
