Three Films That Inspire Respect to eliminate violence against women and girls.

Hole <<First Name>>

Three films addressing gender respect from three uniquely creative points of view will be launched on Wednesday November 25th. at the Federation Square Big Screen. They were co-written by a group of students from Glenroy Secondary College and Brunswick Secondary College, guided by a team of filmmakers.

That Inspires Respect is an innovative education and arts project which brings youth into contact with the values of respect and tolerance that are required to ensure violence against women is eliminated from society for good. The aim of the project is to drive a strong message of prevention of violence through respect, bringing young voices out to the public at a critical age of development and building relationships.

After a series of respect workshops in high schools, a group of creative and driven students, assisted by professional filmmakers, co-wrote and acted in three short films addressing the issues of gender stereotyping, respectful relationships and peer pressure.

The three films will be launched at the Federation Square Big Screen. They will constitute the core of the 2015 “16 Days of Activism for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls”, an annual global campaign to raise awareness and combat violence against women. The campaign runs from November 25th (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women), until December 10th (International Human Rights Day), thus linking violence against women and human rights in a concrete way.

Prior to this event, the films will be screened during the Moreland City Council White Ribbon March at the Coburg Library in Victoria Street Mall, Coburg at 11:00am (march begins - actual screening around 12:15pm).
