In support of the Global 16 Days Campaign against Gender-Based Violence, the Wilson Center proudly presents, "Celebrating Women," an art exhibition highlighting female artists from around the globe. Please join us on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, from 4–6:00 pm for the opening. Cocktails to follow.
Around the world, women and girls are targeted, abused, and killed because of their gender. The United Nations estimates that 1 in 3 women will experience some form of violence during their lifetime. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated already devastatingly high rates of gender-based violence (GBV).
Each year, the Wilson Center participates in the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign to amplify the visibility of the global issue of violence against women and girls. This year, the Wilson Center is highlighting the intersection between GBV and women’s economic and financial inclusion.
Job loss and financial instability resulting from the pandemic have been identified as potential drivers of increased domestic abuse and intimate partner violence against women. Economic independence has been shown to be a helpful tool in reducing GBV and improving the lives of survivors. This year, the Wilson Center is hosting female artists from around the world to highlight women as active contributors to society as a demonstration of solidarity to survivors of violence and all women and girls.
This exhibition would not have been possible without the support from Ambassador Mark Green and the Wilson Center team, Qatar-America Institute of Culture, Québec Bureau Washington, the Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank, ROFA Projects, and the Embassies of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Jordan, Mexico, Panama, Qatar, and Uruguay.
Speakers at the opening included Robert S. Litwak (Senior Vice President and Director of International Security Studies) and Beatriz Garcia Nice (Program Associate and Gender-Based Violence Project Lead at the Wilson Center -- the organizer of the exhibition)

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
