Event Details : Film Screening and Photo Exhibit "Mera Haq - Surviving Pregnancy in India".
The International Women’s Day event commences with a panel discussion comprised of leading women activists from a range of fields, including film actress Sharmila Tagore, health activist Aparajita Gogoi, legal advocate Jayshree Satpute and community activist, Shanta.
Despite rapid economic growth and panoply of laws mandating access to reproductive health services, Mera Haq exposes India’s lack of will power in tackling maternal mortality. Told through the untimely death of Shanti Devi, Mera Haq reveals the daily toils of surviving pregnancy for society’s most vulnerable and marginalized. Narrated through a 15-minute documentary and an accompanying photography exhibit, Mera Haq highlights the systemic barriers Indian women and girls encounter in accessing basic medical care.
