Fatima Bouddokar is the moderator and will talk to Inge de Frank the researcher for the film. Also joining the follow-up discussion will be Eva Verlinden from the sexual violence centre and Dosha Sijens from Victim Support Netherlands.
There will also be a small photo exhibition of Henriëtte van Gasteren’s work in the foyer of the cinema.
Her photo project ‘Silent Scream’ stems from a personal motive. Prejudices like: ‘the girl with the short skirt who asked for it’ and ‘the man in the bushes’. Victim blaming can reinforce guilt and shame. It can make a person feel doubly victimised. Sexual abuse can happen to anyone and it can happen anywhere. An extra reason – if possible – to return with people to the place of abuse to photograph them there.
