Preventing Gender-Based Violence
Join us for a free presentation by Parfaite Ntahuba, a peace leader from Burundi and former Selkirk College student, to learn about her approach to preventing gender-based violence.
Parfaite Ntahuba is a senior pastor in the Quaker community in Burundi, in East-Central Africa. For the last 10 years she has been the National Coordinator of the Friends Women's Association. She works to prevent gender-based and election-related violence in Burundi through school and church presentations by men and boy leaders and clergy, premarital counseling, mediation and dispute resolution with couples and polarized groups, trauma healing workshops and protective accompaniment using the techniques of Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP). In 2015, she attended Selkirk College for one semester to take Peace Studies courses.
