From Fear to Freedom: Ending Violence Against Women - Film
Worldwide, at least one in three women are victims of violence. It is the most pervasive human rights violation on earth -- present in every country, every culture, every religion, every class.
But
around the globe, women are joining forces and speaking out, advocating for new
laws, and developing successful strategies to eradicate gender-based violence.
The challenges are many. But the mission is clear: bring an end to the culture
of violence and forge a new path to a culture of peace and human rights for
all.
In WLP’s new film, leading experts and activists from across the globe discuss
the root causes of gender-based violence, share strategies to combat it, and
provide inspiring accounts of the important milestones already achieved through
the international women’s movement.
Film runs 35 minutes
“People make
culture. And people can change culture… There are good things in culture that
can be used to bring about change, and this change must be towards human
rights.”
– Thoraya Obaid, Former
Undersecretary General, United Nations & WLP Board Chair
