Louisville Hadassah #EndtheSilence, Hear Our Voice Community Workshop

Join us for a meaningful conversation on gender-based violence (GBV) as a tactic of war. This non-political discussion will focus on expanding understanding of the impact of GBV and war trauma around the world, as well as the effect on our community. The discussion will include reflection on global and local opportunities that support healing and peacemaking.
