6 stories using contemporary dance, poetry, rapping, and singing about effects of Intimate partner violence on children.
It is our pleasure to welcome you to “Hush” – (Musical & Workshop) Brown Girl Woke’s 2023 contribution to 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence project. We have the honour to co-direct this together and form a brilliant team of young local poets, playwrights, dancers, and musicians.
We wish to extend our profound gratitude to UNESCO for the funding to produce this event.
The theme of this year’s 16 Days of Activism Campaign – “Invest to Prevent Violence against Women and Girls” – calls on us to share the actions we are taking to create a world free from Gender-Based Violence.
Gender based violence tears through our homes, families, relationships, and community, disrupting peace and stability. As Samoans, we should be alarmed by the realities of abuse across our nation.
Violence costs us all.
Shining a spotlight on six different experiences with GBV, “Hush” explores the role our silence plays in hiding, protecting, and continuing domestic violence.
