A recent gathering organized by the Faculty of Education鈥檚 Dr. Claudia Mitchell brought together voices from around the world to examine and eliminate gender-based violence.

The event, Circles within Circles: Transnational Perspectives on Youth-led Approaches to Addressing Gender-Based Violence, brought together 75 girls and young women with researchers, policy makers, and representatives of national and international NGOs from Canada, South Africa, Kenya, Sweden and Russia. The aim of the intergenerational, international gathering was for Indigenous and non-Indigenous girls and young women to engage with each other, share knowledge and practices, network, and learn from each other about participatory visual and other arts-based approaches to address gender-based violence.聽

The event included presentations by girls and young women on what they are already doing in communities to address gender-based violence, as well as arts-based workshops, an international stakeholder forum,聽 and an international exhibition, Speaking Back, made up of images from seven countries. The event ran from July 8^th-11^th, and was held in Montebello, Quebec.

The plan is to have this exhibition travel to various sites, communities and galleries as part of , an international partnership project founded in 2014 that prioritizes learning 鈥渇rom the ground up鈥� to examine gender-based violence.

The event was made possible through Prof. Mitchell's Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation project聽and funded by the Trudeau Foundation, SSHRC and IDRC. A key feature of the event was the drafting of a girlifesto at the closing session. This girlifesto will be presented to various governments and policy-makers. Many national聽and international NGOs at the gathering made a commitment to taking the girlifesto forward to their various constituencies.聽
