A documentary short film about the phenomenon of conflict-related sexual violence (CRI) due to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.
The project was created with the support of the Dr. Denis Mukwege International Foundation; the Ukrainian NGO "Numo Sisters" and the Government Commissioner for Gender Policy Kateryna Levchenko in Ukraine.
This film tells about the terrible examples of СRV in Ukraine, which most often occur on the lines of combat (in places where civilians could not / did not have time to leave), as well as in Ukrainian cities temporarily occupied by the Russian army. The main speaker of the film, Lyudmila Huseynova (Ukrainian human rights activist, former prisoner of the Russian regime), tells from her own example how exactly the Russian military and representatives of the Russian special services treat civilians in cities that Russian forces were able to capture. Namely: about the inhumane conditions of detention of women of different ages, about psychological and physical violence, torture and in some cases - murders that occur in a Russian prison.
The film calls on a peaceful and free European society to help free Ukrainian women from Russian captivity.

*"Numo Sisters" is a list of women who are in captivity of the Russian Federation. Some of the presented persons have been held in inhuman conditions for almost 10 years.
"For me, this work is an important message from Ukraine to the international community. We want you to feel and understand all the horror that Ukrainian women experience while in captivity in Russia. We demand that the international community consolidate in the fight for women's rights, and we also demand support in the release of all women who are forcibly held in Russian prisons. Thousands of Ukrainian women experience physical, psychological and sexual violence daily from Russian special services and military structures. Unthinkable bitterness and pain overcomes me, realizing how difficult it is to achieve justice for all these women. But we can't give up. That's what this film is about for me..."Anastasiya Agafonova - director.
