Download iCal FileJoin us for the third workshop in a series on healthy relationships in Muslim communities.
Breaking Silence is the first film of its kind, documenting American Muslim women's stories about their experiences coping with sexual assault, coming out to their families and friends, and their insight about the change that needs to take place to help survivors, hold perpetrators accountable, and prevent reoccurrences.
The event will be facilitated by HEART, a national organization that ensures Muslims have the resources, language, and choice to nurture sexual health and confront sexual violence.
Refreshments will be served.
Space is wheelchair accessible. If you have questions or additional accessible needs, please contact the Arab American Cultural Center five days in advance.
Co-organized by the Arab American Cultural Center, Asian American Resource Cultural Center, and Women's Leadership and Resource Center in partnership with HEART.
Co-sponsors: Students for Justice in Palestine, Muslim Student Association, Indian Student Organization, Planned Parenthood Generation Action at UIC, Women's Health Initiative, and Counseling Center.
