Rio was amazing! The captivating experience of flying over the Atlantic, the breath-taking and incredibly refreshing environment, the lovely food, the warm people, the beautiful sea…. simply amazing! More than anything, the sexual violence research initiative conference! Enlightening, great learning experience and great time to connect with sexual violence researchers, advocates and other changemakers seeking to see a positive difference globally.
