International Women's Day Breakfast

If not me, who? If not now, when? With inspirational keynote speaker Maria Andersson. 

One in three women is exposed to men's violence at some point in their lives. To create a change, we also need to break norms. Men are the ones who are responsible for most of the violence, therefore they are also the basis for change.

Even today in 2022, we treat boys and girls differently. Boys should be macho and tough, which means that they must not be vulnerable and learn humility. When they are told that they are better than girls, the gap between the sexes is created and inequality is a fact.

Men's violence against women affects everyone. We must dare to talk about it and how we treat each other in our everyday lives, at work, at school and in the family.

As Emma Watson said in her speech at the UN.

”If not me, who?

If not now, when? ” 

Its time for a change! Lets all be a little bit like Emma in our everyday life.

Join us for this inspirational breakfast seminar to commemorate the upcoming International Women´s day and the continuous work towards a more equal world

On the 8th of March, we would like to welcome you to the International Women´s Day Commemorative Breakfast with Maria Andersson- Entrepreneur, author and lecturer.

Recently Maria released her latest book Mellan Väggarna (Behind The Walls), where she shares the testimonies of hidden women (gömda kvinnor) and writes about their situation. These women go into hiding because they risk being killed by their ex-boyfriend/husband.

Maria has cooperated with UN WOMEN SWEDEN for several years and considers the violence against women a global pandemic. Some of Maria's Awards on her fight for women's and children's right to safety and security include:
