Title Sustainable Community - Government Partnerships on Gendered Violence Prevention Day / Time Tuesday, June 20th / 13:30 - 15:30 Room Oceanview 1 Event Description Women in Cities International is currently engaged in linking local community-government partnerships working on violence prevention from a gendered perspective. There are projects in Canada, Australia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, working on these issues, bridging violence prevention in both public and ‘private’ space. What are the opportunities? What are the roadblocks and how can they be overcome? What can we learn from one another? How can we create ongoing cross-cultural communications on our common issues? This event will attempt to gain perspective into these questions.
