More DescriptionHealth by All Means documents the transformation of a community with, for, and by women who experience gender-based structural violence. It can be experienced as a story, a philosophy lesson, a walk with a treasured friend, and, at times, a song, and much dancing. The program was initiated in the context of a university partnership by a faculty member and students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison -including the Department of Gender and Women's Studies, the Global Health Institute and the 4W Women and Wellbeing Initiative. HbAM's success can be attributed to a broad network of actors -including community leaders, students who rotated through and were transformed by it, financial supporters, both individuals and organizations, and from support and recognition by UNESCO.
