Women’s Voices Now (WVN) is a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization that uses the power of film to drive social change that advances girls’ and women’s rights globally. We seek to challenge the mis- and under-representation of women by promoting films made by women, about women, for all.
Through our work, with the generous support of GGF, we envision a global culture shift powered by impact film, in which communities and institutions believe in gender equality and adapt their behaviors and actions to support the systematic advancement of women and girls. We carry out our mission with our film festival, our youth program, Girls’Voices Now, and our free online film collection,Voices for Change.
