MN Women's Press Issue: Featuring AVP Facilitators!

FNVW had the honor of contributing to the March 2023 issue of the Minnesota Women's Press! The issue is dedicated to defusing patriarchal violence. Our Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) workshop facilitators shared personal insights and powerful examples of AVP's positive, transformative impact in this area.

The MN Women's Press is building a grassroots network of people & organizations dedicated to preventing gender-based violence in our state. FNVW is excited to be a part of this critically important work.
