The St Jeanne Antide Foundation is organising a short morning conference entitled My Protection from Violence, My Human Right: My Government's Responsibility - a call to action on Friday, 4 December, 2015. The conference marks three years since the founding of SOAR Service and falls between the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the Human Rights Day.
SOAR Service is responsible for the process leading to the conference and key features of this innovative initiative during the conference will include:
- 5 short presentations by survivors themselves on principal themes, based on 22 in-depth interviews about survivors’ experiences, 12+ focus group meetings and individual meetings with key professionals from state agencies and NGOs to glean their perspectives
- 5 thematic workshops intended to discuss the way forward and produce a timely plan of action.
