Combating Violence Against Women - Oxfam Discussion

I went to the Oxfam Halifax office today to listen and take part in a discussion on combating violence against women.


It was an interesting collective of women and men, from various organizations and interests who came to hear Robyn Baron speak on the work she is currently involved in with Oxfam.



The presentation and alot of the discussion was about violence against women, empowering women and aid to women on the International Level. Which was very interesting to hear about.

The other aspect of this event was networking, conversations stemmed from Child Warriors, to Roots of Abuse, to we are doing within our own boarders.

There is a Friends of Transition Houses Network steering committee meeting tonight. I will have to opportunity to present the work I have done thus far for approval and then perhaps we can move forward with mobilization, awareness sessions and action.

I (as always) am open to suggestions, opinions, and contributions. Please feel free to contact me at loriwalton@eastlink.ca or via facebook.
