Tonight! Congo Teach In Presented by the WSC

Please join us TONIGHT! March 24th at 7:30 in the South American Room (2nd floor) of the International House for a very special event about war in the Congo and the tragic effect it has on women in the area, sponsored by the Women's Social Collaborative.

The night will feature a teach in (so if you don't know much about the topic, don't worry!) and a short talk by Dr. Elisa von Joeden-Forgey. She is a historian of modern colonialism, human rights and genocide, specializing in gender and genocide.

I really hope you can make it! It is our goal to sponsor one or two women through Women for Women International, an incredible organization that works with women who have been affected by trauma.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We're really excited! I know this is a heady and daunting topic, but please come to learn what we can do to spread awareness and create positive change.

Please spread the word to anyone or any organizations who might be interested!!!
