FNVW in the Community

Changemaker's Alliance Bodily Autonomy Event 

We represented FNVW and the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) at the MN Women's Press Changemaker's Alliance event on Saturday, March 25th. AVP Facilitators spoke about their experience with AVP and how it addresses Gender Based Violence in our community. Maria Musachio also led a concentric circles AVP exercise for the whole group. This event was step 1 in a statewide effort to connect the dots around bodily autonomy and supporting survivors and offenders in healing toward a stronger future. Photography credit: Sarah Whiting.
