“This moving documentary is harrowing not only for its heartbreaking, unflinching look at a young woman’s life brutally ended but for the intimate, clear-eyed look at the men who broke her and their defenders. It forces a look at the mindset that must be made to know it has no place in the civilized world.” Meryl Streep, actress and activist
'India's Daughter' has been critically acclaimed around the world and has caused global discussions about gender equality and human rights of women and girls. It has led to the start of a global movement, the Equality Studies Global Initiative. The initiative directly addresses head-on 6 of the UN’s 13 Sustainable Development Goals. It calls on education ministers and heads of state across the world to implement a new subject in the national curriculum – human rights education (teaching empathy, respect, gender sensitisation, moral values) – on a compulsory basis and from the first day of entry of a child into school. 28 countries have already committed to adopting the new subject across their national curricula.
Following the screening, join us for an inciteful panel discussion moderated by Aaranya Rajasingham to examine the documentary and it’s ban through the lens of the law, media, politics and gender.
