As part of International Women’s Day, Rethink Rebuild Society would like to invite you to a film screening of Syria’s Rebellious Women by award-winning journalist, Zaina Erhaim.

Filmed for over 18-months in war torn Aleppo, the film shows women who have been fighting on the front line alongside men, or are responsible for food and essential supplies or stitching up the wounded in field hospitals.

Erhaim’s series shows that far from being victims, Syrian women are fighters in the struggle for a free Syria. They battle, not just the destruction brought about by the Assad regime, but also the patriarchal attitude in some segments of their community towards women on the frontlines.

Also meet and hear from Syrian women who will share their personal battles, struggles and the challenges they have overcome while the conflict rages around them.

Last but not least we will be having a Q&A session with the Director, Zaina Erhaim, while celebrating the contributions of empowered women in our community.

Refreshments will be provided.
