When we met Catinca Trabacaru, executive director of Women Voices Now, we were very impressed by her passion and determination to speak on behalf of those women who do not have voice.
Women Voices Now is a young organization founded in January 2010, and its mission is to empower women and give voice to the struggle for civil, economic and political rights. In their first year, WVN is hosting Women’s Voices from the Muslim World: A Short-Film Festival giving voice to women of all faiths living in Muslim-majority countries and Muslim women living as minorities around the world. Network 355 is proud to share with our followers the story of this amazing women organization.

To top it all off, several DJs will shake the house with electro hybrid beats and more. White attire is encouraged for all guests, and a minimum $35-$50 donation is required.
Most of us know someone whose life has been touched by breast cancer. After losing both my Aunt and Grandmother to Breast Cancer, I’ve made it my mission to do something about it. Seeing them battle this horrible disease, going through Chemo and fighting the good fight, I've made a commitment to do something about it and I need your help!
