Congratulations to BELEN, which has been chosen by the Argentine Film Academy to represent the country at the Oscars! It tells the story of a girl who went to the hospital because she was hemorrhaging, only to be told that she'd had a miscarriage, then to be accused and convicted of having caused or obtained an abortion, and imprisoned. It took years to challenge and reverse this false conviction. A fate that looms, USA women?

“Women remain only 1 in 4 people seen, heard or read about in the news. Stories of gender based violence appear in fewer than 2 out of every 100 news articles. Think about it. This is not just a gap in reporting, it is a gap in democracy.”
