WADEintoACTIVISM is a performing arts festival presenting work by female and historically underrepresented artists and conversations with feminist allies surrounding gender-based violence. WADE is joining the Global 16 Days Campaign, launched by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership (CWGL) and feminists from around the world running from November 25th (the International Day Against Violence on Women) through December 10th (Human Rights Day).
