Voices for Change: A Film Festival and Discussion on Women's Empowerment

Join us to raise awareness about the critical issues of gender equality, women's empowerment, and safety in India. This event aims to shed light on the alarming rise in violence against women, including the heinous crimes of rape and murder. We will stand in solidarity with the family of the young female doctor who was tragically murdered at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, demanding swift justice for this horrific act.

The event will feature a powerful showcase of short films that explore the complexities of gender-based violence, discrimination, and the struggles faced by women in various aspects of life. Through thought-provoking narratives and compelling visuals, these films will spark important conversations and inspire action.

Following the film screenings, we will host a panel discussion featuring experts, activists, and survivors who will share their insights and experiences. The discussion will delve into the root causes of gender-based violence, the challenges faced by women in India, and the urgent need for systemic change. We will explore strategies for promoting gender equality, empowering women, and creating a safer environment for all.

This event is an opportunity to raise our voices against the atrocities committed against women, including the harassment and violence faced by female doctors in medical colleges and hospitals. We will advocate for stronger measures to protect women in the workplace and ensure their safety and well-being.
