Celebrate Diwali With DAWN Worldwide


10/26/2017

Celebrate this Diwali a win of good over evil with DAWN World Wide to put an end to gender-based violence and promote gender equality.

DAWN World Wide is organizing their annual fundraising dinner gala on 4th November 2017 at Belmont Center, Belmont, MA. It will be a night full of great entertainment, food and the proceeds from the night will support a greater cause.

Funds from ticket sales will support organizations that educate young men on gender inequality and training them on what's right and wrong when it comes to domestic and sexual violence. We will also use the funding to train the trauma counsellors working with victims and survivors. Furthermore, if we raise enough funding we will help set up shelters and helplines for women, sensitivity training for police handling rape cases and other efforts to challenge harmful gender norms.

The night along with the description of great work DAWN has done for the cause, it will also include a piece from Ben Zimmerman, a music artist who will portrait Men’s involvement in movement against violence on women.

You can support the cause and enjoy the night by purchasing your tickets through this link
