Breaking the Global Silence:
The week of events for Breaking the Global Silence, part of International Day Against Violence Towards Women, will begin November 27th and continue until December 5th. Come to learn about women's issues, violence against women, how to prevent it and eventually how to end misogyny and campus and sexism and violence toward all women. Events will include panel discussions, guest speaker and movie showings. All events are free. See schedule below.
Highlights: -- Keynote Speaker, Janine D'Anniballe, Ph.D: Violence Against Women - Causes Impact and How to Make it Stop: Monday November 27th 7 pm ATLAS 100. Dr. D'Anniballe, director of Moving to End Sexual Assault (MESA) will be discussing how violence against women (VAW) shows up internationally and locally, why it occurs, how it affects individuals and communities and what a movement to end VAW should include. Learn how VAW is connected to other forms of oppression, raise awareness and learn how to change the system and help stop violence against women.
-- Clothesline project: Wednesday November 29th 1 - 4 pm and Thursday, November 30th 11 am - 3 pm in the UMC across from Baby Doe's. The Clothesline Project is a space provided to address violence against women. Campus members, both men and women, are encouraged to design a shirt that is a symbol of their or others close them's experiences with sexual violence and assault. Come by to honor women survivors as well as victims of intimate violence, to raise awareness about violence against women and give women a voice for their personal experiences. -- Gathering and Open Mic for Women and Their Allies: Friday, December 1st 7pm UMC 5th floor lounge The WRC and Dennis Small Culture Center will be sponsoring this Open Mic to provide a safe space for all to come together to talk about personal and global experiences with violence against women. There will be food, a facilitator, open conversation, support and information from campus and community allies. -- Writing Workshop: Writing as Survival and Activism Wednesday December 6th 7 - 8:30 pm UMC 382 Join us for a workshop led by writer and poet Anne Reynolds. The workshop will focus on using writing to facilitate personal and social change. It will push participants to write about topics normally silenced and to deconstruct the language we use to talk about our bodies and experiences. Breaking the Global Silence must start with breaking our own personal silence. Anne Reynolds is a performance poet, teacher and activist whose writing is essential to her survival.
