The WOW Rio and WOW UK teams are about to be reunited! In three days Ecoar! Festival of Activism Against Sexual Violence will take place in Rio de Janeiro, the second festival of its kind in our three year Shameless! project to address the global crisis of sexual violence. Both festivals are co-organised with @birkbeckuol’s SHaME project, headed up by Professor Joanna Bourke. Explaining more about 2022’s festival and the aim behind WOW and SHaME’s collaboration, she said: “Sexual abuse and violence affects each one of us. This festival seeks to provide safe spaces to share our experiences, explore creative ways of addressing the problem, and think about strategies for eradicating the scourge of abuse. Together we can dismantle rape culture and create more just and loving ways.” . . . #ecoarfestival #shamelessfestival #endsexualviolence
