Basira

A documentary film that explores violence against women in honour-based societies, with particular focus on female genital mutilation (FGM), honour violence and honour killings, early and forced marriages and lack of access to education. The film profiles nine women’s rights activists - with origins in the Muslim and non-Muslim world - and follows their efforts to effect change, both within their communities and beyond.
