ANYISO organized a conference on the 30th of October to discuss the impact of COVID-19. The conference focused on women and how they can access support, tackle abuse, and how Scotland and the world can be free of violence against women.
The event which was well attended by policymakers, government agencies, organizations, and members of the public was held at the Whiteinch Centre, Glasgow.
Shulamite Ezechi’s ANYiSO is a registered charity in the UK that runs multiple projects, seminars, workshops, and conferences, and provides support and services for women, young people, refugees, and asylum seekers.
Speaking about the conference and its impact, Shulamite Ezechi said; “Covid-19 has affected women both in frontline and at home while exposing structural inequalities across every area, from health to the economy, from security to social protection and increase in domestic abuse. With all these happening in times of crisis when resources are strained and institutional capacity is limited, women and girls face so many far-reaching consequences.
I felt that responding to the pandemic is not just about rectifying long-standing inequalities, but also about building a resilient world in the interest of everyone with women at the center of recovery. At the conference, we discussed these issues, approaches, made suggestions, and looked for ways we could work together in tackling issues that affect us as women.
I strongly believe that this is so important because when organizations and agencies work together, they tend to make huge differences in people’s lives irrespective of their ethnicities and cultural differences”.
ANYISO recently took home the prestigious charity of the year award at the Prestige Awards held in the UK, and they continue to impact the lives of women and children.
