Connect, share, and learn how to rise above the barrier of gender-based violence to create a brighter future.
Every hour, a woman in Alberta experiences some form of violence from an intimate partner. This abuse transcends every boundary—age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and education level. It can impact anyone, from a powerful executive whose spouse constantly undermines her self-worth, to a mother whose financial choices are controlled by her partner. It affects teens, young women, and mothers alike, and it often doesn’t leave visible scars. But its effects—whether physical, psychological, or emotional—can be deeply damaging and long-lasting. The path to safety and healing is challenging, but it starts with choosing yourself.
Join Women United for I Choose Me: Empowering Women Against Gender-Based Violence, an impactful networking event designed to shed light on the complexities of gender-based violence and the paths available to healing.
- Hear about the movement against gender-based violence from local experts.
- Learn how abuse manifests in various forms.
- Explore practical strategies to safeguard yourself and your loved ones from the devastating effects of domestic violence.
- Network and connect, listen, and share experiences and ideas on the topic.
Together, we can empower women and girls in our community to rise above the barrier of gender-based violence to create a brighter future.
