"Khatera”, Afghan women’s battle against sexual abuse
3-9-2020
In its issue of today, Al Akhbar newspaper drew attention to the film “A thousand girls like me” by Afghan director, Sahera Mani, which will be screened at 6 pm tonight on the Facebook page of Saraya Theatre, Yafa as part of the Jaffa Festival activities. The film is based in the true story of an Afghan woman, Khatera, 23, who forced her father to stand trial after a lifetime of sexual abuse, Al Akhbar wrote. She risks her family, freedom and personal safety to expose a judicial system that lays the blame on women who seek protection. It is an attempt to overcome fear and set a positive example for her daughter and other girls like her, Al Akhbar said. (Al Akhbar, September 3, 2020)
