Good Morning, Burlington!
There is still time to register for the Library’s virtual program for this afternoon, Off With Their Heads! Art of the French Revolution.
This Saturday, Saheli will be sponsoring the “Be Her Warrior” 5k for domestic violence awareness and prevention. From Saheli:
Domestic violence happens behind closed doors – irrespective of education and wealth status; and women suffer in silence. Recent global prevalence figures indicate that about 1 in 4 women worldwide have experienced domestic violence and 1 in 3 have faced either physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.
This year alone, Saheli has supported over 300 survivors of domestic violence with police and legal advocacy, placing them in safe homes and assisting them to be economically and financially empowered. Join team Saheli and ‘BE HER WARRIOR’.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
- REGISTER: Whether you are walking virtually or in person, signing up is a breeze. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
- DONATE: With your support and amazing generosity, last year we were able to raise funds to provide winter clothing, pay gas bills and provide driving lessons to financially empower our survivors. Thank you! CLICK HERE TO DONATE & BE HER WARRIOR
SAHELI’S MISSION: Our mission is to empower South Asian, Middle Eastern and North African immigrant women and families to lead safe and healthy lives.
