This year, the International Labour Organization (ILO) will celebrate International Women’s Day by hosting a round table discussion and a film festival focusing on women film directors.
The ILO’s commitment to the promotion of gender equality and the improvement of working conditions for women will therefore be approached from two angles – that of the women film directors, operating in a sector where successful women are still a minority, and that of the work these women do, which often sheds light on social problems that would otherwise have gone unnoticed by the public.
