The
16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international
campaign sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership.
Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against
Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day,
in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights
and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights.
Healing Streams is participating in the 16 Days through an email and website campaign.

Circle of Hope 2009 a Success |
What a night it was! From the rhythmic beats from Organic Groove to the compelling stories & pictures from Congo we were mesmerized by the sights and sounds of Africa. Who didn't love watching Nii from Creation Africa hard at work with his carving demonstration, bidding on a silent auction items or renewing acquaintances.
