What ‘She’ goes through...

On November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the three change partners of last year’s ‘Bas Ab Bahut ho Gaya’ campaign — Farhan Akhtar’s MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination), director Feroz Abbas Khan and Population Foundation of India — jointly released a short film titled She, taking a hard look at the various forms of violence that a woman is subjected to on an everyday basis. The three-minute short film is directed by Ranjeeta Kaur.

Farhan, who officially released the film, says, “For women to feel safe in our society, it is important that men change their mentality and behaviour. This short film She gives the other perspective — of how ignorant men are about this violence. It is imperative that men understand the humiliation that women go through. Only then will they truly make an effort to change.”

Feroz, who is the creative lead for She, adds, “Men feel entitled to perpetuate violence against women. They feel it is their right. Ranjeeta Kaur exposes that entitlement in She.”

Poonam Muttreja, executive director of Population Foundation of India says, “Though more women are now finding the courage to speak out and report abuse, a large part of society still normalises such crimes, until it reaches the point of really heinous forms of violence. Men need to recognise that the everyday forms of violence and violation faced by women are no less harmful.”
