Happy Hanukkah!

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women will mark the launch of the UNiTE campaign (Nov 25- Dec 10) — an initiative of 16 days of activism concluding on the day commemorating International Human Rights Day. On this episode of Global Frequencies, we sat with ANC’s Geraldine Ankrah - Project Coordinator of SEA (Support Empower Access). She walks us through the shocking still-existing prevalence of gender-based abuse and violence, in particular, how refugee and migrant women are at an increased risk and what we can do about it here at home.
