Sands of Silence was featured at the High-Level Political Forum, United Nations, New York.

We had the honor to present our film at the panel entitled

Eradicate Poverty by Eradicating Silence About Sexual Violence:
Forging the Link Between Gender Rights and Prosperity through Arts and Media

along with our partner Equality Now

“Exploitation, violence against women and poverty go together.”
— Román Oyarzun Marchesi, Spain’s Mission to the U.N. Ambassador

Check out this short video clip of the opening remarks by Spain’s Permanent Mission to the UN Ambassador:

—Elizabeth Cronin, Director of the New York Office of Victim Services
