Introducing myself and my journal

About Me:
I work in arts marketing and communications for Australia's internationally acclaimed contemporary circus, Circus Oz. Circus Oz is committed to gender equity and social justice, as well as inspiring generations of Australians. I also have a deep-seeded passion for human and women's rights, working as a volunteer for International Women's Development Agency (IWDA) for the past 3 years. My work there has ranged from an event and sponsorship intern, documentary filmmaker and my latest position committee member.

You can access my online documentary, Strength of Women, here: http://www.strengthofwomen.org
The documentary is about IWDA partner organisation, Kantha Shakthi, based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It tells of the positive consequences that occurred after the Indian Ocean tsunami, and provides an outlet for rural women to speak about their life experiences and relationship with Kantha Shakthi.

In the future I hope to further my studies in the development field. Please feel free to email me danivenn@hotmail.com
