We invite you to SidebySide, an inspiring and insightful look into the window of violence against women so prevalent in communities across the globe. Through presentations, ritual , and music, we will gain awareness into the root causes of violence against women, the consequences it has on our lives and planet and measures that are being taken to address this epidemic.
