25/06/26 ‘Voices’ Mins publicity film Launch
Either and Fatama, two of this year’s KES Share Our Skills girls, joined Daphne, Sally and Sheila at the Lauch of Voices, which shows Mins work by case examples.
Daphne’s Critique of the film.
The ‘Mums in Need’ film ‘Voices’ was amazing. It featured three actors telling the stories of some of the women who have gone through domestic abuse and coercive behaviour. It was followed by a ‘Q & A’ session with the Founder and CEO, the film producer, an Ambassador and one of the actors. A wonderful insight into some of the things these women have had to put up with.
