A Question of Rights series
VHS
72 min - 5 tapes
The UN Conference on Population and Development in Cairo marked a watershed in international discussions about population. It shifted the debate away from the tired old arguments about numbers and resources, quotas and population "targets", to focus instead on the human rights, needs and aspirations of individuals everywhere - women and men - and the critical role that women's reproductive rights play in economic and social development.
But denial of women's rights still devastates the lives of millions today. For the last two years Television Trust for the Environment (TVE) has been working with women directors around the world to produce short films that explore why so much discrimination and violence is still directed against women.
The five 15-minute films in the series A Question of Rights, explore what governments, communities, NGOs and individuals are doing to ensure that women's reproductive rights are recognized in Ethiopia, Latvia, Jamaica, and Fiji.
