*Please check back regularly for updated information on Thursday's live chat.*

Please join The WIP Thursday, August 5th at 9am PDT for a live chat with CARE Policy Analyst Milkah Kihunah. This chat is the first in a series of live chats on the International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) that The WIP is hosting prior to the September release of the film Tapestries of Hope. Tapestries of Hope is the story of Betty Makoni’s Girl Child Network, a safe haven for girls in Zimbabwe who are victims of rape because of a widely held belief that sex with a virgin cures AIDS.

Join us on Thursday to educate yourself about the issue of violence against women, what is being done to address it and how you can help. Participate in this chat and learn more about CARE’s work to fight violence against women in various countries and find resources to help you spread the word.

How to participate: You must register an account with The WIP in order to participate in our live global chats. If you do not already have a WIP account, please register at the top of our homepage by clicking on: CREATE ACCOUNT.

Stay tuned for more information on The WIP’s I-VAWA chat series and the upcoming film Tapestries of Hope.
