Description

Speaker: Pamela Cross, Canadian feminist lawyer & women’s advocate

"Pamela will share her hope that we can find a way to end violence against women through a society-wide approach to building communities that are safe for everyone..."

In this powerful talk, Pamela draws on more than 30 years of frontline experience in the violence against women movement to explore why our legal systems continue to fail so many survivors — and where real hope for change can still be found.

At a time when gender-based violence is more visible than ever, she will challenge us to think beyond the law, and toward a society-wide approach to building communities that are safe for everyone.

This is a timely, honest, and hopeful conversation you won’t want to miss.
