We, women survivors

Itxaso Díaz Spain
2023 25 min.

'We, women survivor' is a choral story that reveals the experiences and consequences that sexual violence causes in the lives of women. Six intertwined life stories that exemplify the strength and determination of these survivors to defend their dignity, overcome and rebuild their lives. Six stories that challenge us to take forceful and effective measures to eradicate this violence, which women and girls experience systematically in war contexts. Because given the impunity of the aggressors, brutality settles in society and becomes part of everyday life. How long will we allow this to continue to happen?
