The Collective of Refugee, Exiled and Migrant Women, founded in 2004 in Alicante, has become a leading voice in raising awareness of the struggles of Colombian women human rights defenders in exile. Among the many tools they use to analyse their cross-border reality, theatre stands out, particularly through the play *Mujeres Eres. Theatre as a Healing Art*, which, following the principles and techniques of the Theatre of the Oppressed, seeks to bring to light their grief, their strengths and their reinventions as women, social leaders, exiles and, quite simply, survivors. A multifaceted perspective that serves to denounce the effects of war in their country of origin and the violation of their rights as women and migrants in their host countries. An impact felt on two levels which, nevertheless, does not halt the course of their struggles and their hopes. This is the story of powerful women whom neither war nor exile can make bow their heads.

‘Letters to Aunt Marcelina’ delves into the story of Aunt Marcelina, a victim of the iyalorixá during the Quebra de Xangô of 1912 (Xangô Revolt), one of the most violent episodes of religious intolerance in Brazil.

With a sensitive and engaging narrative, the film interweaves artistic performances and interviews to offer an in-depth insight into the historical significance of Aunt Marcelina and her connection to the preservation of Afro-Brazilian cultural identity, inviting the audience to reflect on religious intolerance and the appreciation of diversity.

The Story of Tilo tackles the issue of child sexual abuse with sensitivity and symbolism. Through the eyes of a boy with a flowerpot for a head – whose plant reveals and expresses his inner world – the story immerses us in an environment where silence carries more weight than words. An unexpected friendship, an act of courage and a flower that blooms in the most unlikely of places open the door to a truth that has long been silenced and repressed. What happens when a child finally plucks up the courage to speak out?
Listening can save a life. Abuse can be overcome and, most importantly, it can be prevented.

Amina Souko set up her own organisation, Red Aminata, with the aim of helping and supporting African women living in Spain, to combat female genital mutilation, human trafficking and abuse against them. This is something she experienced herself, and through this network of women she is trying to ensure that other women – and their daughters – do not have to suffer the same fate. It is a small solidarity project through which she hopes to inspire others to follow in her footsteps, so that there will be more women – more ‘Aminatas’ – helping other African women.

‘123 Neem Seeds’ is a documentary about the lives of 123 boys and girls living in a school for children with disabilities in Lamu, one of the poorest areas in Kenya. Through the eyes of Lourdes Méndez (Zaragoza), field coordinator for the Aragonese NGO “BeSocial”, and the key figures at the schools – such as James, Madame Farida, Shindo and Madame Priscah – the documentary delves into the everyday reality of the children with disabilities supported by the NGO. The support provided includes food, education, hospital care and physiotherapy. This is changing the lives of these children and also helping to free them from the stigma they have faced since birth. The documentary, directed and produced by Adrián Buenaventura, was filmed entirely in Kenya.
