International Women's Day Fundraiser
Celebrate International Women’s Day with REED at our third annual fundraiser for sexually exploited women, Raising Hope. Guests will arrive to music by local jazz artist Monica Siu and hors d’oeuvres and wine, followed by an address by guest speaker Daphne Bramham, Vancouver based award-winning journalist and author.
You’ll have the opportunity to learn more about REED, to support our work, and to meet others who care about justice and women in our city. We will highlight one woman and honour her with our third annual REED award, someone who we believe has made an outstanding contribution to resisting exploitation and embracing dignity.
