If in Nairobi for the World Social Forum and want to meet up with a bunch of high energy, young feminsits. Check out this event, the WE-PET group is an amazing group of three women who use participatory theatre to challenge cultural norms on gender based violence and the status of women in our communities. Their performances will have you responding and openly discussing issues you thought you had figured out. I've seen them move a crowd of young 13-17 year olds -who have been knocked around by life and are basically hardened to any sort of advice or discussions of the possiblity of a better world- into a vibrant discussion that made them sit up and think really hard about sexual violence.
They rock!
See you there!
