a. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SEMESTER: PARTNERSHIP WITH TAHIRIH JUSTICE CENTER
To begin the first half of 2014, Vox Culture will be focusing on addressing a global issue with immense importance and impact on the Houston community, Domestic Violence. Given that the issue has been one that has hit close to home (or are likely to know someone who is or has been affected by the issue), it is bound to be deeper and more thought provoking, while also educational. The Core Team is hard at work finalizing details for the upcoming semester, which will be announced in January.
It is our pleasure and honor to announce that our partner for the upcoming events focusing on Domestic Violence will be the Houston office of the Tahirih Justice Center.
The Tahirih Justice Center works to protect immigrant women and girls seeking justice in the United States from gender-based violence. Tahirih’s innovative and comprehensive approach leverages pro bono resources to provide a combination of legal services, advocacy, and public education programs. Through this coordinated effort, Tahirih seeks to ensure the protection and safety of theirclients, as well as their long-term well-being by raising their voices in the public policy arena, informing the public of the unique challenges immigrant survivors of violence face, and, ultimately, creating lasting legal and social change. Be sure to visit the Tahirih Justice Center website to find out more about them and the amazing work that they do!
b. 1/7 VOX SERVICE DEBUT: "ART OF YOGA" WITH KARA HOUSTON
As of Tuesday, January 7, 2014, Vox Culture will proudly debut a new service for the general public.
