Summary:
"In male-dominated cultures, like Saudi Arabia, women and
girls
are treated like property, forced into marriage and suffer female genital mutilation. Honor Diaries is the first film to break the silence on 'honor violence'
against
women and
girls
. An all-star cast of women's rights activists, including New York Times Bestselling author Ayaan Hirsi Ali, come together in Honor Diaries to lift their voices and speak the truth; that culture is no excuse of abuse."--Container.
"Honor Diaries is divided into five main sections. The film begins with a broad analysis of women’s rights in Muslim-majority
countries
, drawing attention to issues such as lack of access to education and restrictions on movement. From there, the film expands on three major
crimes
targeting women: forced marriage, honor killings and female genital mutilation (FGM). In the final chapter, the documentary explores the rising trend of honor-based violence in Western societies, and efforts to silence voices of opposition by intimidation. The film features in-depth interviews and salon discussions with nine women’s rights activists who represent diverse communities throughout the Muslim and non-Muslim world. The women reside in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Sudan. In the documentary, the featured women share their stories from their personal lives, professional work and their struggle to fight for broad-scale change."--Wikipedia.com.
