16 Days of Activism: Free Screening of Silenced in Launceston

The TFSVA Alliance welcomes you to a free screening of Silenced in Launceston as part of the 16 Days of Activism.

After #MeToo, survivors of sexual violence started speaking out. Many were then pulled into a new kind of silencing. Silenced follows international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson as she works on high-profile cases involving Brittany Higgins, Amber Heard and Colombian journalist Catalina Ruiz-Navarro. It shows how defamation laws are being used against survivors and against the journalists who tell their stories.

This year’s Tasmanian theme is “Safety shouldn’t be a privilege.” Come along, watch the film and be part of the conversation about how we build communities where everyone can speak up and be believed.
