Today we celebrate the strength, creativity, and brilliance of women everywhere — those who lead, those who lift others up, those who dare to imagine a better world, and those who quietly make it happen every single day.

We made prints inspired by #ReclaimTheNight
Too many women have their lives stolen from them because of violence.
2 to 3 women are killed every day in this country and behind that statistic there are daughters, sisters, mothers and friends, all with names, faces, families, and futures, now lost.
We need your help to create our next film! Come and join us on the 3rd December for an open table discussion on the theme of ‘The Manosphere’ We want to hear your voices and stories! #manosphere
The Young Women’s Film Academy are growing our team and are looking for a freelance videographer/editor/producer to join us on this exciting journey.
