http://whiteribbon.ca Join us for a multimedia presentation by Jeff Perera of the White Ribbon Campaign and Higher Unlearning.
Jeff will explore the ways we create and enforce gender roles for men and women, pressures on men to live out limiting ideas of masculinity, and the effect of those limits on perpetuating violence against women.
Together we'll explore what we can do to be a part of a positive change for all genders.
