Harriet Beecher Stowe Center   

In 2013 numerous organizations joined forces for the first annual CT Girlcott, an initiative to raise awareness about body image and the relationship between women and makeup.  The event asked women to "girlcott" (as opposed to boycott) make-up for the month of March and to donate the money normally spent on cosmetics to organizations and programs that help support women and girls in Hartford and internationally.

Join panelists Rabbi Donna Berman, Charter Oak Cultural Center; Dr. Mala Matacin, University of Hartford Women for Change; Amanda Roy, CT Humanities and moderator RozeLyn Beck, YWCA Hartford Region  as we reflect on accomplishments and strategize for CT Girlcott 2014.  

We'll enjoy refreshments 5-5:30 p.m. and discussion 5:30-7 p.m.
