Shackled Women - 40min documentary

See full film here: http://vodsite.journeyman.tv/store?p=973&s=Shackled+Women

December 1999
Tradition, religion or just plain old prejudice are making the lives of countless women hell. Often seen as the legal or sexual property of men, many third world women are confined to a life of almost incessant childbirth, especially until they bear a son.

Produced by ABC Australia and Journeyman Pictures

its sad how men think its the woman's fault that they don't have a son when its actually dependent on the man if they will have a boy or girl.

you know you do such outstanding work. I hate to mention it but in this video the narrative is being drowned out so as to make it difficult to understand

sexism is everywhere

[hijabiflower]

Men symbolize leadership and the head of their community. This video is biased because everyone knows unequal treatment of women is demographically distributed within all cultures and scoieties.

[lillith886]

women who wish to be equal to men lack ambition!

Be glad we dont have to make such choices in order to maximize our survival chances, it's so easy to forget how privileged we have become in time..

It took a ong and hard struggle to get here, all we can do is help others get to the same level of freedom.

Society is a living thing, we all define it's rules on a daily basis, all of our choices shape the world we live in.. however petty and small it may seem. ;)
