In celebration of International Women’s Day, the Regional Human Rights Commission of Tangier organizes, starting from March 08, 2013, film days about memory and human rights for the benefit of university students.This activity is part of the Commission’s strategic plan that aims, inter alia, to support educational human rights clubs. It also seeks to stimulate interest in human rights film culture at the university.
The program will be an opportunity to introduce students to a number of movies produced between 2000 and 2004 centered on the past grave violations of human rights that the National Human Rights Council has published as part of implementing the program of monitoring the recommendations of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission on archives, history and memory, financed by the European Union.
The kick-off of this event will be on March 8 at the National Institute for Social Work, with the screening of Saad Chraibi’s movie “Jawhara, Prison Girl”, with the presence and contribution of Mr. Khalil Damoune, president of the Moroccan Film Critics Association and the Forum for Thought, Culture and Creativity. The same film will be screened on March 13 at the National School of Business and Management in Tangier. Other films will be shown in the region’s university institutions.
In cooperation with the Regional Academy of Education and Training, the Regional Human Rights Commission will screen these films in the human rights and citizenship clubs of the region’s schools.
