WebinHERS is an innovative peer-to-peer diplomacy project by Footage Foundation that invites young women and professionals throughout the United States & Eurasia to interactive webinars on gender-based violence.
WebinHERS take a participatory and intersectional approach to the issue of gender-based violence, simultaneously promoting values of social inclusion and gender equality.
WebinHERS builds upon original and evidence-based methodologies from U.S.-based Footage, including experts and programs that have proven to bring young women and organizations from different countries together to raise awareness of gender-based violence, foster peer-to-peer dialogue and compassion, shift perspectives, and build sustainable skills in communication, leadership, and cross-cultural relationship building.
