SHIFT : AMEND Together’s 2nd Annual Conference
Presented by Bank of America, confronts the crisis of violence against women and cultivates healthy masculinity. The conference will take place on September 27, 2021. Through expert speakers, engaging workshops, and discussions that cause us to think differently, the SHIFT conference will challenge the elements of our culture that contributes to violence against women. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of gender-based violence, prevention strategies, as well as best practices to engage boys and men to be a part of the solution to end intimate partner violence.
