On November 25 and 26, Laurence Ligier, Founder-Director of CAMELEON, and the "Cirquera de CAMELEON" troupe were honored to be invited to the "French Film Festival", organized by Embassy of France to the Philippines and Micronesia, in partnership with SM Supermalls as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls.
On November 25, a private screening of the documentary "Un silence si bruyant", took place with the exceptional participation of French actress Emmanuelle Béart, co-director, followed by a round table and press conference bringing together stakeholders committed to child protection: Senator Risa Hontiveros, Senator committed to Women's Rights and Children's Rights; REX Gatchalian's Secretary of State; Minister of Social Affairs (DSWD); Hannah Morillo, Director of MLAC Institute and psychologist at CAMELEON; Emmanuelle Béart and Laurence Ligier, our Foundress.
Our "Cirquera de CAMELEON" were able to perform their circus show in front of an admiring audience.
On November 26, a charity dinner to benefit CAMELEON was held, where 120 guests were able to discover our actions through a speech by Laurence Ligier and another circus and theater performance by our "Cirquera de CAMELEON". The evening was a reminder of the importance of supporting the cause of protecting women and girls against violence.
CAMELEON is thankful for the support, trust, and confidence in our mission to fight against all forms of abuse and violence towards women and children.
