CCA 5 Thursday 16th October
4.15-5.15 pm
Daughters' Destiny
May Gauffin
Sweden 2008 / 52 Mins
In
Nepal daughters are married off at a very young age and left to be dependent
on their men, giving birth and taking care of parents-in-laws. Women from
different parts of Nepal tell their stories, through which they show the
vast force of tradition on their life situation. In the far west, we meet
with Fofo, who was married off when she was 10 years old. The groom was
20. She was raped and had a daughter before she managed to leave her husband.
Thuli Maya, in the hilly area, was 15 when she got married. At 40 she
became a widow after giving birth to ten children. But not only poor and
illiterate women are suffering. Savitri is not poor, but she tells how
she had to throw her dolls away and was then carried for nine days over
the hills to Kathmandu to get married to someone whom she had never seen
and did not even know the name of.
