Taking on the narratives: Resisting gender-based political violence
From "Solutions Inside Out," a short film from InternetLab x Michelle Chevrand
About the film:
Three Brazilian politicians, all at different stages of their careers, fight for positions in government while confronting gender-based political violence: a councilor candidate who uses social networks as her primary platform, a trans parliamentarian who struggles to have her voice heard, and a pioneering advocate who pioneered womenâs inclusion in the 1988 Constitution. Together, they define the boundaries between dialogue and aggression.
