docUNight: Bread & Roses

Join us for a docUNight in UN City Copenhagen featuring the upcoming documentary ‘Bread & Roses’ – a film capturing the plight of Afghan women and girls 3 years after Taliban’s takeover, highlighting the pervasive impacts of discriminatory policies on their lives.

Produced by Sahra Mani, Jennifer Lawrence, Malala Yousafzai, Justine Ciarrocchi, and Farhad Khosravi, ‘Bread & Roses’ offers a powerful window into the seismic impact that the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 2021 had on women’s rights and livelihoods.

As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, join us in fostering dialogue about violence against women in Afghanistan, their challenges and needs.

When: Tuesday, 26 November 2024, 17:00 – 20:00

Run time: 90 minutes

Language: English and Arabic (with English subtitles)
