antidote

antidote: Multiracial and Indigenous Girls and Women's Network is the recipient of the Award of Excellence for Cultural Heritage and Diversity from the BC Representative for Children and Youth. A community grassroots organization, antidote emerged from a participatory action research project with Dr. Jo-Anne Lee (women's studies) and included faculty from the School of Child and Youth Care. A not-for-profit organization of over 150 Victoria girls and women of diverse cultures and backgrounds, antidote has a unique inter-generational structure that uses creative multi-media approaches (documentaries, theatre, photography, poetry, art) to raise public awareness while building leadership skills and social justice activism among members.
