The Philippine Women Centre Of BC (PWC-BC) invites you to join in their 3rd Political Fashion Show themed, “SCRAP: A Political Fashion Show to Stop Violence Against Filipino Women”
This political fashion show, presented by the Philippine Women Centre of BC (PWC-BC), works to showcase original fashions designed by local Filipino artists under the theme of “SCRAP: A Political Fashion Show to Stop Violence Against Filipino Women.” This year, working under the violence against women theme, these works will explore the different types of violence and abuse experienced by Filipino women on the systemic and personal level through clothing design. The works will depict the different forms of economic, social, verbal and physical violence that is the daily reality of many Filipino women.
The event will be a Wine and Cheese Gala with Semi-Formal Attire. Proceeds will go towards the empowerment services provided to women victims of violence within our community.Tickets are now available at $25 for Regular Seating or $50 for VIP.
