Deadline: 8-May-23
In 2024 conference proposals, EVAW International is looking for creative and compassionate strategies that reflect a Cycle of Justice.

How can we overcome obstacles, including the Cycle of Doubt that so many survivors face? Perhaps most important, how can we sustain positive momentum moving forward? Start working on those proposals now, to share your unique view on the Cycle of Justice!
