A special, in-person workshop to connect, share, learn and rethink how gender-based violence is portrayed in the media

Join Aura Freedom & Islamic Family for a special, in-person evening to connect, share, learn and rethink how gender-based violence is portrayed in the media.

How the media tells stories about gender-based violence matters. It shapes public understanding, influences accountability, and impacts survivors in real ways.

Join award-winning organization Aura Freedom for an honest, practical, and compassionate dialogue on how gender-based violence is reported, where coverage can cause harm, and how transformative reporting can actually prevent violence. Together, we’ll unpack real examples, challenge assumptions, and share tools for more accurate, responsible reporting.

For journalists, advocates and community members who question the systems they live within.

No judgement, no shaming, just an open, solutions-focused conversation about doing this work better.
