The Global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign is an international campaign led by UN women to challenge violence against women and girls. The campaign runs every year from 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. During the 16 Days of Activism, communities around the world join the call to prevent and eliminate gender-based violence.

To kick off the campaign this year, the Program Committee and the Board are hosting a reception at the club on November 25th, from 5 – 7. We are very pleased that we will be hearing remarks from Isha Khan, CEO of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Isha has a law degree, has practiced labour and employment law, worked with the United Way, and was lead counsel and then executive director of the Manitoba Human Rights Commission.

Please join us to recognize the importance of this campaign and show our support as a club. Feel free to bring a guest.

We will provide appetizers and there will be a cash bar.

There is no cost but we do need registrations by November 20th so we can plan. Sign up online, by emailing uwc@mymts.net, or in person at 54 West Gate.

Hope to see you there.
