Between COVID-era ARPA funding, federal cuts from the Trump administration and increased need in Chicago and Illinois, survivors of gender-based violence are losing out on shelter beds and legal help.

Congratulations to our Youth Peer Advocate Leadership (YPAL) graduates! 🎉 Our YPAL cohort spent the summer learning how to recognize abuse, the systems and culture that enable violence, and how they can be advocates in their own communities. YPAL graduates practice peer-to-peer education by passing on their knowledge to a friend, family member, or mentor.

This year's YPAL Intern cohort created a website investigating how the gender binary leads to gender-based violence and how that manifests in various male and female dominated professional fields. You can find their website flyers throughout Chicago!

Last week we hosted a teach-in and art-making session in preparation for Global Action Day for Justice for "Comfort Women" Survivors. We highlighted the first "comfort women" survivor testimonies that paved the way for a global movement to end military sexual violence. Participants engaged in a thoughtful discussion about the ways in which survivors and allies have created spaces beyond our current systems to encourage truth-telling, restore dignity, and pursue justice. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful event!

Be a part of the movement—join us next Wednesday, August 12th at 12PM at the Wrigley Building for Global Action Day of Justice for "Comfort Women" Survivors 🦋
