Week Without Violence Twitter Chat – October 19

Join us and a number of partner organizations (see below) for an engaging Twitter chat during Week Without Violence! Last year, we discussed policies and programs that support survivors of gender-based violence. This year, we will be focused on racial justice approaches to ending gender-based violence. We must take an intersectional approach as we work together to end gender-based violence, centering and amplifying women of color survivors, advocates, and leaders.
