In honor of International Women's Day, Women's Voices Worldwide, Inc. hosted its third annual "Celebration of Speech" on March 7, 2015 in Northampton, Massachusetts USA.
Featuring more than 50 performances by women and girls of all ages, the day provided an 8-hour marathon of historic speech re-enactments, contemporary speeches by local women and girls, featured speeches by community leaders, and interlude performances by singers, ensembles, and educators.
In this video, Lynne Marie Wanamaker facilitates an interactive session with the audience to conclude the day's panel on "Women, War, and Violence." Ms. Wanamaker is a nationally recognized expert in empowerment-based, social-justice informed violence prevention strategies. She is also an experienced movement instructor and martial artist who believes all people have a right to joyful movement and that mindful physical activity in a trauma-aware setting can help survivors heal from violence.
