Thank you for tuning into WADEintoACTIVISM.
At WADE we want to remake a world without violence against women and girls.
A world where global communities come together to investigate the deep rooted systemic patriarchal structures that create and normalize this violence.
A world that believes survivors and holds perpetrators accountable for their actions. We believe the performing arts to be the perfect tool to initiate these important conversations and heal the world.
Globally, an estimated 736 million women—almost one in three—have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both at least once in their life (30 per cent of women aged 15 and older). Emerging data from a new UN Women study confirms that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a shadow pandemic of violence against women (Source: UN Women).
Statistically, you or someone you know currently is or has been a victim of gender-based violence.
