MOTHERS OF THE WORLD : AN ANIMATED SHORT FILM
Mothers of the World is an animated short video, produced by the European Network of Migrant Women and directed by film-maker Vaishnavi Sundar. It is inspired by the stories of five migrant and refugee mothers from Afghanistan, Somalia, Ukraine, Philippines and Turkey.
This 20-minute animation presents a series of portraits of the women who took difficult journeys into Europe, their quest for safety, security and stability for themselves and their children, their daily struggles and the courage and wisdom with which they deal with the new challenges in Europe.
Associazione Aura is also a member of the International Coalition for the Abolition of Surrogate Motherhood (CIAMS/ICASM), a coalition of feminist and human rights organisations founded in 2018 to combat reproductive exploitation. With over 50 member organisations working in 14 countries – Australia, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, France, Italy, Japan, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and United Kingdom – CIAMS works across borders to end the reproductive exploitation and commodification of women and girls.
