HerStories: Beyond Silence

HerStories: Courage Across Borders Art • Voices • Resilience • Solidarity

Join us this March for an evening dedicated to elevating the powerful stories of women who have faced some of the world’s most challenging injustices, from Yazidi women who survived abduction and captivity, to women in Iran fighting for freedom, to survivors of domestic violence here in the U.S. This event brings these narratives together under one unified theme: courage without borders.

Hosted by the Iranian Women’s Institute for Life & Liberty (I-WILL), this community event blends art, lived experiences, and dialogue to illuminate the realities many women endure while celebrating their strength, healing, and unstoppable spirit.

Together, we face difficult truths, honor voices too often unheard, and build a shared path toward justice across cultures and continents.
