WomensVoicesNow
Women’s Voices Now (WVN) is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization that uses the power of film to drive social change that advances girls’ and women’s globally. We seek to challenge the mis- and under-representation of women by promoting films made by women, about women, for all.
Through our work, we envision a global culture shift powered by impact film, in which communities and institutions believe in gender equality and adapt their behaviors and actions to support the systematic advancement of women and girls. We carry out our mission with our film festival, our youth program, Girls’ Voices Now, and our free online film collection, Voices for Change.
Since 2017, we hold special consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Our work is internationally recognized as impacting six of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

🎬 Revisiting Screams Before Silence: Women’s Voices in Conflict
Earlier this year, we hosted an impactful screening of Screams Before Silence, a film that powerfully highlights the experiences of women in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Though the event took place in July, the stories and struggles shared in the film remain deeply relevant today.
As the conflict continues, these women’s voices remind us of the importance of resilience, peace, and justice.
If you missed our screening, now is the perfect time to revisit the conversation through our event highlights. Let’s continue to amplify women’s stories and work toward a future of understanding and peace. 🙌
