The Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IGDS), UWI St. Augustine Campus, is partnering with the trinidad+tobago film festival (ttff) and UN Women to present The Power of Women in Film, on September 22, from 9am to 4pm, at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad. The day of panels and presentations will include speakers from across the region who explore depictions of women and girls and how film can be used to address issues of violence against women, objectification, gender inequality and female empowerment. Short films will be incorporated into the programme to help illustrate some of the issues being discussed.
The Power of Women in Film will be followed by three days of feminist cinema, from September 22-24, also at the Hyatt.
