You Don't Walk Alone: conversations about violence against women

There are a lot of things that go unsaid; things that women trade like secrets in the dark, on the phone, in the honest spaces of silence when it’s just women. These are the stories of experiences that no one should have to live through – times when carrying your keys in your fist wasn’t enough, when the simple catcall turned out to be more. These are the stories of our mothers, our grandmothers, the culmination of their warnings and wise words – these are the reality for women everywhere.

Pearl Cove Library will be discussing the issue of violence against women at our Human Living Library event in November. The day will be hosted at Pearl Cove Contemporary art space, and will feature human ‘books’ who will be available to be ‘borrowed’ to discuss their experiences with violence. Each session will be intimate, honest, and compelling – spaces are limited, so book today to ensure your spot is reserved.

The Pearl Cove Library is proud to partner with The Centre for Women’s Mental Health, Kick Start! : women’s self defense classes, Justice in the Cove, and Home Away From Home.
