On the occasion of the awarding of the Sakharov Prize 2014 to the Congolese gynecologist Denis Mukwege the European Parliament in cooperation with the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights and the Research Centre Human Rights organize the traditional Sakharov Screening, featuring the documentary SEEDS OF HOPE. Prior to the screening Ulrike Lunacek, member of the European Parliament will introduce the Award winner.
The documentary follows the story of Masika Katsuva. Masika is a Congolese woman who sacrifices her safety everyday to help others deal with the unimaginable horrors they have experienced in their lives. Since the outbreak of the civil war, which has torn the Congo apart, rape has become commonplace and is used as a weapon of war. At Masika’s centre, a community of rape victims try to rebuild their lives and console each other. The documentary will be shown at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict this June.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the film director Fiona Lloyd-Davies and Manfred Nowak, director of the Research Centre Human Rights and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights. The event will be held in English.
