Ciné-ONU Presents: #FemalePleasure online screening
To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the United Nations and the European Commission present an online screening of the award-winning movie #FemalePleasure on 25 Nov 2020, 8pm (Zoom) followed by a panel discussion. Registration required.
Synopsis
Barbara Miller’s feature documentary #FemalePleasure portrays five courageous, bright, and self-determined women, breaking the silence imposed by their archaic-patriarch societies and religious communities. With incredible strength and positive energy, Deborah Feldman, Leyla Hussein, Rokudenashiko, Doris Wagner and Vithika Yadav are fighting for sexual liberation and autonomy for women, beyond religious rules and cultural barriers. #FemalePleasure shows the universal mechanisms at work that determine the position of women, spanning cultures, religions and continents.
