all women in WAR (RAW in WAR) believes violence against women and girls
in conflict is “one of history’s great silences” and has pledged its
support to the International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence
in Conflict, which launched this week on May 6. It is the international community's responsibility to
stand up for rape survivors by breaking the taboo on this subject and
enabling their full rehabilitation.

Closing Night: Where Do We Go Now? + Reception
Friday 30 March 18.30pm at the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton
The Human Rights Watch Film Festival returns to London from 21 - 30 March with a programme packed full of documentaries and dramas set to inspire, inform and trigger debate. This year, in association with Human Rights Watch, and International Alert, RAW in WAR is proud to present the closing gala film – Where Do We Go Now? – prior to its UK theatrical release in summer 2012.
Set against the backdrop of a war-torn country, Where Do We Go Now? tells the heart-warming tale of a group of women determined to protect their isolated, mine-encircled, community from the pervasive and divisive outside forces that threaten to destroy it from within. United by a common cause, the women’s unwavering friendship transcends, against all the odds, the religious fault lines which criss-cross their society and they hatch some extraordinarily inventive, and often comical, plans in order to distract the village’s menfolk and defuse any sign of inter-religious tension. A series of chaotic incidents tests the women’s ingenuity as they manage to successfully stave off the fall-out from the distant war. But when events take a tragic turn, just how far will the women go in order to prevent bloodshed and turmoil?
