The films in this focus highlight women and girls who rise up against violence, oppression, and despair \u2013 often at great personal risk. Whether it is Gal, the waste picker who flees her abusive partner with her children, two friends breaking free from destructive dependencies, or Alice fighting for custody in court: each story tells of a courageous step from powerlessness toward self-determination. Tielle, a 13-year-old from the Amazon, and Devi, a former Nepali rebel fighter, also embody female resilience \u2013 breaking the silence, confronting patriarchal structures, and opening paths toward a future beyond violence.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
