Description:

Come join us as we invite KAN-WIN for a presentation and dialogue on gender-based violence in Asian American communities. This presentation will focus on a timeline originally created by KAN-WIN interns Jessica Liu and Lillian Guo in 2019. The timeline details the ongoing history of Asian American involvement with movements to end domestic and sexual violence as well as the history behind said violence.

KAN-WIN is a community organization based in Chicago-land and aims to end gender-based violence with a focus on Asian women and girls. They do this through resources such as direct service, community education, organizing, youth engagement, and the creation of a 24-hour hotline.

This program is part of the Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month celebration organized in partnership between Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA), KAN-WIN, SPEAK for Change, and the Center for Awareness, Response & Education (CARE) at Northwestern University.
