SUMMARY:Rose Campaign Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join YWCA Edmonton as we launch the 2026 Rose Campaign with a powerful fireside chat exploring digital violence — also known as technology-facilitated violence — one of the fastest-growing forms of gender-based violence today. \nFrom online harassment and image-based abuse to emerging threats involving digital manipulation\, technology-facilitated violence is having real and lasting impacts on women\, girls\, and gender-diverse individuals. As technology evolves\, so does the need for awareness\, prevention\, and support. \nHosted by award-winning local broadcaster and friend Stacey Brotzel\, this engaging conversation will bring together experts to discuss: \n\nWhat digital violence is\nHow it affects individuals and communities\nThe importance of early prevention in youth and survivor support\nPractical ways to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe in an evolving digital world\nHow supporting YWCA Edmonton can help create safer\, more respectful spaces — both online and offline.\n\nFeatured speakers include: \nAlexandra Ages\, Policy Specialist Writer and Activist\nAshley Lim\, Director of Counselling Services with YWCA Edmonton\, Registered Psychologist\nNicolette Little\, University of Alberta Professor and Author of From Red Dresses to Memory Stones \nGuests are invited to arrive early to connect with fellow community members\, partners\, donors\, and advocates during an appetizer reception before the formal program. Enjoy refreshments\, network\, and engage in meaningful conversations with others who are committed to ending gender-based violence and creating safer communities. \nBe part of an important community conversation and learn how we can work together to prevent violence\, support survivors\, and build a future where everyone can connect\, learn\, work\, and live free from violence. \nYWCA Edmonton’s Rose Campaign aligns with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence\, an annual international campaign that runs from November 25 to December 10. A resounding call to action against gender-based violence\, the campaign invites us to unite\, raise our voices\, and rekindle our resolute commitment to ending violence against women\, girls\, and gender-diverse people.  \n  \nBuy Tickets \n  \n  \nStacey Brotzel | Emcee & Moderator\nStacey Brotzel was a familiar face on Edmonton televisions for more than 30 years. Now\, she has turned her talents to radio and can be heard every morning on the station she grew up listening to: 880 CHED. \nThe award-winning broadcaster loves to engage in stimulating conversations. She took a boat down someone’s street while covering Winnipeg’s Flood of the Century.\, and packed gas masks in her coverage of the G8 in Kananaskis. She has interviewed Prime Ministers and Premiers\, chatted with Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards\, pop star Tiffany\, and even made M.A.S.H. star Alan Alda laugh. \nStacey was also the host of the YWCA Edmonton podcast Searching for Izena\, introducing listeners to the female trailblazers at Edmonton City Hall. She loves chocolate and hates coffee\, but tea gets her through those 3 a.m. alarms for her gig as host of This Morning with Stacey Brotzel on 880 CHED. \n
