The year 2020 is significant for women’s rights movement globally as it marks the 100th anniversary of the women’s suffrage in the United States, the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, and the 20th anniversary of the Women, Peace and Security agenda launched with UNSC Resolution 1325.
To commemorate all these milestones of women empowerment and to advance feminine voice in shaping a #NewIndia, the Embassy of India Student Hub organized a 2-day Women’s Film Festival in Washington D.C. at the end of this February (29th February and 1st March) preceded by an Opening Night at the Embassy of India (28th February). A shorter iteration was hosted in New Jersey on 28 February.
