SUMMARY:docUNight: Smoke Sauna Sisterhood
DESCRIPTION:Book your spot here: Smoke Sauna Sisterhood\n\nJoin us for a docUNight in UN City Copenhagen featuring the documentary ‘Smoke Sauna Sisterhood‘.\n\n\n\nFilmed in a UNESCO-listed traditional South Estonian smoke sauna\, the documentary captures raw conversations among women as they share their most intimate stories of body image\, desires\, sexual violence\, and resilience. The film portrays womanhood in its most vulnerable and natural form\, as the women come together to heal both minds and bodies through the power of shared experiences and the rituals of the sacred smoke sauna. The documentary has received widespread acclaim\, earning multiple awards\, including the European Film Award for Best Documentary. \nDuring this year’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence\, join us in fostering dialogue about gender-based violence through this raw portrait of womanhood. \nThis docUNight is co-hosted by UN Women (the UN organisation dedicated to gender equality) and the Estonian Embassy in Copenhagen. \nDisclaimer:\nThis film contains scenes with nudity\, references to sex\, and vivid descriptions of violence and harm that some viewers may find distressing. While Smoke Sauna Sisterhood also portrays moments of strength\, connection\, and healing\, certain scenes may feel emotionally intense to experience alone. We encourage you to watch the film with a friend\, colleague\, or loved one if you feel this would provide additional support. \nPG rating: 11+ years. \nRun time: 1h 29 minutes \nLanguage: Estonian (with English subtitles) \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION\nPlease bring a valid photo-ID to get through security at UN City and set aside time for the security check prior to the event. \nPlease note that the check-in will open at 16:00 and close at 16:50. \nIt will not be possible to enter UN City after this time. Please DO NOT book tickets under your name for someone else. \nPlease reserve each ticket under each person’s name due to the security check upon entry to UN City. \nRefreshments (soft drinks and snacks) will be available for purchase between 16:00–17:00.

In general terms\, it manifests itself in physical\, sexual\, and psychological forms\, encompassing: \n\nintimate partner violence (battering\, psychological abuse\, marital rape\, femicide);\nsexual violence and harassment (rape\, forced sexual acts\, unwanted sexual advances\, child sexual abuse\, forced marriage\, street harassment\, stalking\, cyber- harassment);\nhuman trafficking (slavery\, sexual exploitation);\nfemale genital mutilation; and\nchild marriage.\n\nAs the world marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action – one of the most progressive international agreements on women’s rights to date – the UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE 2025 campaign focuses on one of the fastest-growing forms of abuse: digital violence against women and girls. This year’s campaign is also a reminder that digital safety is central to gender equality. \nLearn more about the 16 Days. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nSPECIAL EXHIBITION – ‘I WAS BORN A GIRL’:\nAhead of the screening\, you are invited to experience the art exhibition I Was Born a Girl\, on display in the lobby of UN City Copenhagen during the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence. The exhibition is organised by UNFPA\, together with UN Women and the Embassy of Finland in Copenhagen. \nThe project was born in 2022\, when artist Minna Pietarinen and co-founder Peppi Stünkel decided to create an initiative dedicated to the rights of girls and women\, through the gentle yet powerful fusion of art and poetry. \nThe exhibition premiered in Mexico City on International Women’s Day 2023 and has since toured Latin America\, Africa\, Asia\, and Europe\, including a showcase at the Palais des Nations in Geneva during the 57th session of the UN Human Rights Council. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nAbout UN Women:\nUN Women exists to advance women’s rights\, gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. \nAs the lead UN entity on gender equality and secretariat of the UN Commission on the Status of Women\, UN Women shifts laws\, institutions\, social behaviors\, and services to close the gender gap and build an equal world for all women and girls \nUN Women’s partnerships with governments\, women’s movements\, and the private sector coupled with its coordination of the broader United Nations\, translate progress into lasting changes. UN Women makes strides forward for women and girls in four areas: leadership\, economic empowerment\, freedom from violence\, and women\, peace and security\, as well as humanitarian action. \nLearn more about UN Women. \nAbout UN City Copenhagen:\nUN City Copenhagen is a hub for the Sustainable Development Goals where UN agencies collaborate\, share knowledge\, and work with partners from across governments\, the private sector\, academia\, youth networks\, and civil society in the Nordics and around the world.
