Today we recognise International Women’s Day , a moment to celebrate the strength, resilience and achievements of women across the world.
For me, it is also a reminder of why The WHY Event exists.
The WHY Event was created from lived experience and a desire to bring honest conversations around domestic abuse into spaces where learning, understanding and empathy can grow. Through drama, spoken word, music and survivor storytelling, we create immersive experiences that help people truly understand the realities many women face behind closed doors.
But this work is not done alone.
Behind The WHY Event is a passionate team of creatives, performers, facilitators and advocates who believe in the power of storytelling to inspire change. Together we create spaces where voices can be heard, perspectives can shift, and conversations that are often difficult ,but necessary. can take place.
On this International Women’s Day, I want to recognise not only the survivors who bravely share their stories, but also the team who stand beside me in bringing this work to life.
Because awareness leads to understanding, and understanding helps create safer communities for everyone.
