I’m attending STORY TALK: Her Safety Is Not Like Yours to learn more about what women’s safety means in Asia by recognising the factors that enable it. For example, what drives child marriages in places like India, why access to education and healthcare is a key solution to empowering half of the world’s population.
Attend the event with me to hear stories of people working to stop child marriages and empower women and girls.
It’s a virtual event on 13 April 2022, Thursday, 8pm - 9:30pm (Singapore GMT +8), on Zoom, organised by Our Better World from the Singapore International Foundation.
