her celluloid self

If you’re absent during my struggle, don’t expect to be present during my success.

I just downloaded this book from this page.
Some things that are mentioned in the book;
‘Minority and indigenous women are in particularly vulnerable positions because they often come from poor socio-economic backgrounds and live in remote areas. They have little access to justice and in many cases face discrimination from the police and the judicial system because of their minority status and because of their gender.’
100% of all Batwa women, an indigenous people in Uganda have experienced physical violence and in many cases these abuses are still going on.
When indigenous women report rape, their reports are treated as less serious than they would have been treated, had the women not been indigenous.
‘Much has been achieved over the last decade to highlight the scourge of violence against women around the world. But development agencies, governments and human rights activists need to realise that not all women face the same obstacles, and that violence against women often has a particular ethnic or religious dimension’
