This video series and manual are the result of a solidarity effort by human rights educators and filmmakers in Africa, Latin America, and the US. It is a compelling series of eight short training videos on women's human rights. Together with the manual the short films bring CEDAW alive for women and men around the world. These engaging true stories are rendered in short narrative dramas which capture and celebrate the complexity, strength and vibrant determination of women living in a globalized, patriarchal world.
