A Proposal for Documentary Film in Yemen

In Yemen

If a woman or a girl is sent to prison for having sex out of marriage, embezzlement or any other reason, she will be renounced by her family and all friends and relatives. Many women did not find anyone to accept or help them after released from prisons.

The Yemen Women Union have established a center to accommodate and find solutions for these women. The Union has brokered reconciliations for many women with their families and married many of these women(about fifty women).
You can take a live example, a girl or a woman sent to jail for adultery or another issue, lived in the center after going out of the jail and renounced by her family, and eventually married to someone after making the reconciliation with the girl’s family. The climax of the story is when making the reconciliation with the girl’s family and marrying her to another person because these are very very difficult tasks to achieve. In Yemen, if your daughter or any female relative is sent to jail, the ONLY solution for you to get rid of the shame is either to kill her or to renounce her, no other solutions. So, when the center succeeds to make the reconciliation between the girl and her family and also finds a husband for this girl, it is a very great success.

If you are interested in making the film or you know anyone who may be interested in the story, please contact or let him/ her contact me at almigdads8@gmail.com or almigdads8@yahoo.com

Best Regards
Almigdad Mojalli
