Opening Evening – Incest: From Awareness to Collective Action

Free, Booking Required

This opening evening of the 25 November Geneva campaign brings together a round table on incest as a central issue within the continuum of sexist, sexual and gender-based violence. The discussion also addresses violence against children, as well as the broader links between equality and democracy. Géraldine Morel, Cécile Cée and Kaoutar Harchi contribute their perspectives, with moderation by journalist Agathe Seppey. Representatives of the Geneva authorities will also be present, alongside Fahrenheit 451.
