The movie Women Development Cell of PHCASC in collaboration with SIBC observed UN 16 Days of Gender Activism today with an objective to raise awareness about gender-based violence as a human rights issue at a local and regional level.
The movie Period- End of a Sentence was screened for the students. It displayed varied representation of civil society in the rural section of Hapur in the outskirts of Delhi, India where some activist we strive to make feminine hygiene supplies easily available and endeavour to end the stigma surrounding menstruation, which often results in girls having to drop out of schools. A machine that makes sanitary pads is installed, and the women operating it find financial security and independence.
The Panel Discussion which followed the movie witnessed an engaged, vocal, inquisitive audience who interacted quite instinctively with the Panelists about their opinions and views.
