Set in Turkey, Voices Unveiled explores the clash of the East and the West through the lives of three Turkish women – an activist, an artist and a dancer – who struggle to find their own voices in a traditional world. Turkish Women Who Dare is not just the story of three brave Turkish women. It highlights the obstacles and challenges women in Turkey face — obstacles and challenges that prevent them from reaching their potential — obstacles and challenges that must be broken down — that we must break down. These individuals’ struggles for personal empowerment reflect the challenges faced by women worldwide. Through their stories, the film examines such timely issues as societal change and the intersections between secularism, traditional values, and gender equality.
Women’s issues is at the heart of one of the causes TPF addresses. That’s why tonight’s screening is significant. The goal tonight is not only to raise awareness but also invite you to take action so we can bring women’s tenacity, intelligence and creativity to the forefront and encourage them to make profound contributions to our society. Learn more on how you can take action through TPF.
