B. Photo Exhibition:
One in three women around the world is subject to physical, sexual or some other form of violence during her life.

"Cause of Death: Woman" is an investigative journey that takes you into 10 countries, where you will meet women who survived violence and more intimately understand the brutality that harms and kills them. It will also highlight the strong forces working for change.

The project website was launched in March and this exhibition is its Asia premiere.

C. Forum Theatre: Intimate Violence

Have you imagined that as a member of the audience, you can make decisions for characters in a play or even change the outcome of the story?

Forum Theatre is designed to provide a platform for the audiences to provide their input, so that they are no longer mere spectators in a performance. Instead they will have the opportunities to give suggestions regarding how the characters speak and behave in a play, and as a result become participants that influence how the plot is developed.
The play will be in Chinese.
