Recognize Violence

Three Eritrean women talk about psychological violence, isolation and the resulting dependance. Flight and migration make it even more difficult to deal with this. They plead for solidarity and support among Eritrean women.

Domestic Violence

Two friends meet for tea. It slowly becomes apparent that one of them is experiencing violence at home. With the help of her friend, the woman goes to a counselling centre. The film shows excerpts from a realistic counselling session at a specialised centre in Zurich.

The scenes and characters are fictitious. We would like to point out that these are not the stories of the actresses.
