Experience the power of film with Women’s Voices Now and EngenderHealth, as we explore pivotal issues around women’s health and rights worldwide. Confront global truths, challenge taboos, and join the movement shaping a just and equitable world for all.
EngenderHealth and Women’s Voices Now (WVN) are proud to present a film screening event centered around sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) on May 8, 2024, at the Silver Screen Theatre at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, CA. This evening promises to be a confluence of cinema and social advocacy, starting with an exclusive VIP cocktail reception at 6:00 PM, followed by the main program at 7:00 PM, which features a curated selection of poignant films that echo the SRHR theme.
The lineup includes films like “Code Red,” “Someone You Know,” and “Birth is a Dream: Maternity in Africa,” each offering a unique lens on the complexities of SRHR in different contexts. From narratives on the struggles with menstrual stigma to the life-saving roles of doulas in maternal health and the heartbreak of trying to attain abortion care, these films are sure to ignite meaningful discussions and deepen understanding of the vital issues at stake.
Following the screenings, an expert panel discussion will offer insights from filmmakers, activists, and community leaders, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and solutions. The event aims not only to showcase EngenderHealth’s pivotal work in global reproductive health and WVN’s dedication to amplifying women’s voices through film, but also to engage and expand our community of supporters in Los Angeles and beyond.
This is an opportunity to be part of a critical conversation on SRHR, transcending continents and cultures, highlighting our shared commitment to advancing the rights, health and voices of women and girls worldwide. Join us in shaping narratives and driving change!
