Women and rights: Beyond 8 March – Film screening & discussion

Achieving gender equality requires sustained commitment, courageous policy choices and profound cultural transformation – which often happens through moments of collective reflection. For this reason, to mark 8 March we are organising a special evening dedicated to cinema and dialogue, exploring together the cultural dynamics that still shape how we talk about consent, responsibility and justice. We wait for you on 13 March at 6.30 pm at EPYC.
