The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Initiative and the Gender Centre invite you to a documentary screening of The Shadow Pandemic.

In Switzerland, a shocking 27% of women aged 15 to 49 endure abuse by intimate partners. The Shadow Pandemic tackles this alarming issue head-on, presenting raw and compelling conversations with experts and survivors. The documentary shines a light on crucial support systems and preventive measures, emphasising their vital role in aiding victims. At its heart, it delivers a powerful call to action for women’s empowerment, demanding urgent awareness and decisive action.
