Movie Night in Tübingen

On November 5, the Women’s group in Tübingen, Germany, gathered for an evening about the topic #enditnow with the screening of a movie. In November, people around the world initiate actions to raise the awareness that violence against women and abuse are not to be tolerated. They must end now. Many women are subjected to patriarchal rule and cannot live free lives.
The movie “Where to, Miss?” (2015) was triggered by the brutal rape of a student in India in 2012. Manuela Bastian, a student at the Baden-Württemberg Film Academy, made a documentary film with a few fellow students about the reality of life for Indian women.
“Young Devki is divorced, her ex-husband has beaten her. She now lives with her father again and wants nothing more than to become a taxi driver. Even in Delhi, a city of millions, this is quite unusual. But there is an agency called “Women on Wheels”, which specializes in training women to become taxi drivers. Cabs driven by women for women. Devki's family has little understanding. Women are supposed to be subordinate to their husbands and take care of the family. They understand why she got divorced, but now she has to find a new husband. And it is highly doubtful that he will let her pursue a career.” According to a film review by Melanie Hoffmann.
The movie made a deep impression on those present, and they joined together to shed light into the darkness of the world where women are being abused by picking up #enditnow lanterns for a photo shoot. At the same time, we realized how fortunate we are in our safe little world.
