November is Family Violence/Abuse Prevention Month. Every week this Nov, MAWS invites you to a free, virtual screening of films that spotlight the devastating effects of gender-based violence (GBV), colonization & intergenerational trauma, as well as how to provide trauma-informed support for survivors. Each film will be followed by a short Q&A/discussion. There is no registration for this event. Follow this link to join the film screening: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85006202834
Contact Amber at amber@maws.mb.ca if you have any questions about the film fest.
