Yanaya Gender Film and Dialogue Festival – dealing with issues around gender and women’s issues in relation to society – showcases films mainly by women filmmakers looking at women and children’s issues around violence, silencing of women, and challenges women and children face.
While it is beneficial for women filmmakers to talk and engage with women and other members of society to conscientize them about protecting themselves and knowing what their rights are and how women and society can access the rights and make the constitution work for them, it is critical that society at large becomes involved in discussions pertinent to the subject through collaborating with the existing CBO’s and NGO’s initiatives that are effectively serving the course through advocacy and activism.
