The P&V Foundation is pleased to host a powerful and thought‑provoking Sofa Talk “Who gets to feel safe? An intersectional look at sexual violence, identity and access to justice” featuring two laureates of the Citizenship Award alongside voices committed to social justice and inclusion.
With Maïté Meeûs (feminist activist and founder of #BalanceTonBar), Yasmien Naciri (social entrepreneur and advocate for inclusion and youth empowerment), and Danielle Fernandes (doctoral researcher at VUB focusing on sexual harassment in public spaces), this event brings together thinkers and changemakers who challenge how our societies understand (in)security, identity, and access to justice.
Through an intersectional lens, the speakers will unpack the complex realities faced by diverse groups of women and open pathways toward more equitable and humane approaches to justice and safety. Drawing on lived experience, academic research, and community engagement, the discussion will also explore how our institutional and political responses address women’s insecurities and sexual violence, and how they can improve.
Moderated by Paulien Broens (Research Coordinator, RHEA VUB), this dialogue promises to be both insightful and transformative.
