This movie addresses the issue of women controlling their own bodies. Specific issues include gender-based violence, sex trafficking, education, maternal mortality, intergenerational prostitution, and economic opportunities. In countries such as Sierra Leone, not even 1% of individuals involved with gender-based violence have been convicted. 90% of Sierra Leone’s population have an STD, and while war in the country ended in 2002, women are still raped, 26% of which are under 12 years old. Sex trafficking is also a problem. This is a problem in Cambodia. Activists are working to not only stop sex trafficking but also to educate but men and women on safer sex and contraceptives.

Maternal mortality is also a huge problem in today’s world. For example, Somaliland has one of the highest mortality rates. One in every twelve women die in childbirth. Most women are expected to have eight to ten babies in their lifetime. Children are circumcised between the ages of five and eight. Intergenerational prostitution in India is also a huge problem. Of the 300 million individuals subjected to intergenerational prostitution, 1.2 million of them are children. The average age that young girls become involved in prostitution is between 9 to 13 years old. Many of the “brokers” kill their victims. A way work to solve or make steps towards stopping prostitution in India is to make attendance to public school mandatory.
