Part of the series: WOMAD festival - University of Sussex - School of Global Studies - Global Voices tent
This year MOOP runs two workshops as part of University of Sussex’s Global voices programme at WOMAD festival.
To the rescue of poor girls and women?
In this workshop we use film to explore the lives of the women who are at the centre of initiatives to rescue them from trafficking, prostitution and exploitation. The films give voice to their concerns, their experiences and their views on how best to address the human rights abuses they experience.
Adolescent girls’ migration
- Film: “Time to Look at Girls: Migrants in Bangladesh and Ethiopia”, produced and researched by Katarzyna Grabska, Nicoletta Del Franco, Marina De Regt and Felegebirhan Belesti.
Debating sex work, ideas about trafficking and views of poor women
- Film: “Save us from the saviours”, produced by the sex worker collective Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP)
Questions and discussion
The precarious nature of migration
In this workshop we will explore the reasons why people from poorer countries migrate and the risks and opportunities they face. Through sharing examples of migrants’ stories from around the world we will gain insights into their different experiences and the ways in which they seek to achieve their goals.
INCLUDING the literary debut of our recently published comic: Precarious Migration: Voice of the Undocumented Cambodian Migrant
