It was an incredible day at #FreeFuture24, all devoted to the global work against gender-based violence. As many reiterated throughout the day: This problem is *solvable *. Some of what we heard: • The Ford Foundation’s Darren Walker reminded us that “the issue of gender- based violence is personal.” • And we learned that firsthand when Former Vice Mayor, City of Hallandale Beach, FL, Sabrina Javellana, FRA-RP shared her gutting story of having deepfakes spread of her. • Later, Tarana Burke urged us to “tell a different story” about survivors, one where we eradicate violence. • And Danai Gurira asked us to “amplify the women who have refused to be broken and see a future we all need to follow.” An inspiring day of sharing and imagining a better future together. Free Future 2024 was hosted by Ford Foundation in partnership with UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, UN Women, Skoll Foundation, and The Meteor. #ungaxford #unga #freefuture24 #skollfoundation #endGBV #untf Photos: Monnelle Duckie.
