Creating Safe Spaces with Mary Lobson of REES Community

“Up until more recently, people didn’t necessarily see how tech might be able to be utilized to either support survivors, to create change, to create new pathways for things. And so I think there’s opportunities for creative thinking around gender-based violence and looking for solutions to some of the challenges.” — Mary Lobson, Founder + CEO of REES Community In this episode Join Mary Lobson, Founder + CEO of SheEO Venture REES Community, and Hannah Cree, SheEO Venture in Residence, as they discuss the need for survivor-centred and trauma-informed resources.
