   The human rights of women include their right to have control over and decide freely and responsibly on matters related to their sexuality including sexual and reproductive health, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. Equal relationships between women and men in matters of sexual relations and reproduction, including full respect for the integrity of the person, require mutual respect, consent and shared responsibility for sexual behaviour and its consequences.

Empowerment of WLWHA in Eastern and Central Europe


  Documentary "Breaking the Silence"
About the "Breaking the Silence":

“Breaking the Silence” presents women’s stories written by life itself and told by women themselves. Female characters from Georgia, Moldova, Poland, and the Ukraine share personal problems in exercising their rights in the area of sexual and reproductive health (e.g. right to access to adequate health services, sexual education, modern contraception, safe abortion, or the problem of feminization of the HIV/AIDS pandemic). The movie clearly shows that in the region, the basic rights of female human beings are constantly violated.

Authors hope to raise awareness about women’s tragedies and hardships which could be easily avoided if policy makers upheld their commitments.
