Women Up! | Anti-Sexual Harassment Panel
Women Up! is a resource-sharing and networking platform for women since 2015. China Anti-Domestic Violence Series was founded in 2017 to centralize resources and organizers in our movement against violence towards women and gender minorities.
The main purpose of this event series is to increase social awareness amongst the general public but also to provide potential volunteers with resources and opportunities to get more involved. There will be a total of 4 events planned within the next year, including a resource flyer that centralizes useful information in the case of emergencies.
