ABOUT THE FILM

 

Honor Diaries features nine courageous women’s rights advocates with connections to Muslim-majority societies who are engaged in a dialogue about gender inequality. These women, who have witnessed firsthand the hardships women endure, are profiled in their efforts to affect change, both in their communities and beyond.The film gives a platform to exclusively female voices and seeks to expose the paralyzing political correctness that prevents many from identifying, understanding and addressing this international human rights disaster.  Freedom of movement, the right to education, forced marriage, and female genital mutilation are some of the systematic abuses explored in depth.

 


Spurred by the Arab Spring, women who were once silent are starting to speak out about gender inequality and are bringing visibility to a long history of oppression. This project draws together leading women’s rights activists and provides a platform where their voices can be heard and serves as inspiration to motivate others to speak out.



 

More than a movie, Honor Diaries is a movement meant to inspire viewers to learn more about issues facing women in Muslim-majority societies, and to act for change.

A wise man once told me that change will come about by the women of Islam. I believe that to be true.


I also believe that they need our support in their fight for equal human rights. For this reason, I have posted the movie for you to watch.


I encourage you to watch and hear what these courageous women have to say. Let us support them in their fight for equality. Share these videos with others, so they will also know. If you wish to do more to support them, just click on the link to their website and there is more information on how you can help them out, under “Get involved” tag.

These women are able to forge this campaign here, but within the countries they have come from, I seriously doubt there will ever be any significant change. I understand that in Saudi, they are attempting to allow women to drive. This should be interesting with their "will of allah" attitude. I ...
