WISE participates in a #STOPdomesticviolence campaign

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2020, WISE initiated a #StopDomesticViolence campaign with GGAL and WeLEAD students. STOP imagery was shared all throughout the month of October on the WISE social medias.


This pandemic has brought increasing reports of violence and distress in the home and our hope is that you join us in bringing awareness to this problem. Thank you to all our participants for raising their voices against domestic violence!
