UN Women Aotearoa NZ 'She Said' Film Fundraiser - Wellington

UN Women Aotearoa New Zealand is once again activating its 16 Days of Activism campaign, “Orange NZ” to End Violence Against Women and Girls. This annual campaign runs from the 25th November to 10th December 2022. 

We invite you to join us for a fundraising movie night on Tuesday 29th of November 2022 from 7.00pm at Penthouse Cinema & Cafe, 205 Ohiro Road Brooklyn Wellington to see She Said.  Doors open at 7.00pm with a fundraising raffle preceding the screening.

New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor break one of the most important stories in a generation — a story that helped launch the #MeToo movement and shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood. 

Proceeds raised will go to UN Women's programme in the Pacific, the Kiribati Women & Children Support Centre. 

Please bring cash if you would like to participate in our raffle!

• Wine glass, and Garage Project beer: $7
• Drink plus a snack (popcorn or chips ) $12
• Ice creams $4 (Boysenberry, Hokey Pokey, Vanilla)

Please note: Your generous donations do not generate tickets, you will need to purchase these separately.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. It was started by activists at the inaugural Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991 and continues to be coordinated each year by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership. It is used as an organizing strategy by individuals and organizations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls.

In support of this civil society initiative, the United Nations Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign (UNiTE campaign) calls for global actions to increase awareness, galvanize advocacy efforts, and share knowledge and innovations.

The global theme for this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which will run from 25 November to 10 December 2022, is “UNITE! Activism to end violence against women and girls”.
