Speaker on Gender Based Violence Coming to Woodstock

The issue of domestic abuse will be front and centre next week in Woodstock. The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is set to take place on June 1st, and preceding that event will be a speech from Michael Kaufman. He's the author of six books on gender issues, and has been speaking out against gender based violence around the world. Barb Wright with Domestic Abuse Services Oxford says, "He's a co-founder of the white ribbon campaign, and he's known around the world for his work in engaging men and boys to work with women at ending gender based violence." He's coming to the Quality Hotel & Suites in Woodstock on May 29th, and Wright says he's been brought in by the five Rotary clubs in Oxford County. "Because it's a Rotary event, they've done some wonderful work to put this together and we think it's going to be a terrific event, both inspirational and very enjoyable." Tickets can be purchased by contacting Barb Wright at 539-7488 Ext. 236.
