Gender-Based Violence: Event and Board Chair

gender-based violence: The event will also feature guest speakers, performers, open facilitated discussions and meet and greets that will fill the one day event that runs from noon to 9 p.m, according to The Chronicle Herald. We will be using most of the facility, said Helen Lanthier, board chair of Be the Peace Institute. This is the third time a One Billion Rising event has been held in Lunenburg County and is by far the largest, with an art exhibition that will feature the works of artists who answered the call to create revolutionary art of all genres that brings a deeper understanding of the complexity of gender-based violence, says the One Billion Rising 2018 South Shore Facebook page. We will be using mostly the main gathering room but we had so many artists and performances, we're going to be using downstairs and the side rooms, too. Lanthier said the call out to artists was answered by more than 20 people including photographers, sculptors, textile artists and painters, as well as community partners. Lanthier, noting the Lunenburg School of the Arts, has donated the use of the space for the event. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
