A powerful film exploring critical social issues around GBV, consent, harmful gender norms, and the societal stereotypes that continue to shape our communities. Through storytelling, this film creates space for reflection, accountability, and change🎭
As someone passionate about protecting and uplifting the voices of young girls and their bodily autonomy, projects like these truly matter to me. Girls deserve to know that their bodies are their OWN, their voices matter, and they have the right to speak up against any violation.
