#TimeForRealHonour; films released to eliminate violence against women


Gender Based Violence is sadly one of the most widespread and devastating human rights violations in the world – a cause and a consequence of gender inequality. Earlier this November, to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, The Federal Ministry of Law and Justice in collaboration with The European Union Delegation and SOC Films launched two films as part of the #TimeForRealHonour campaign to raise awareness highlighting the existing legislative framework against the practice of ‘honour based killings’. In an effort aware and ensure the masses that honour killing is eradicated from Pakistan, the first film highlights a strong message. In a nondescript neighbourhood in a town, the father of a young school girl believes his daughter has brought dishonour to his family. Plagued by gossiping locals in his neighbourhood, who tell him the consequences of her actions and how he would be the one bringing shame dishonour to their community, tragedy soon follows when he realises that he got it so badly wrong.
