#Enough Kyrgyzstan

#Enough Kyrgyzstan

Dans un pays où la violence domestique ne cesse d’augmenter et où les groupes religieux conservateurs gagnent du terrain, #Enough Kyrgyzstan plonge dans l’univers de Zere Asylbek, jeune activiste téméraire et pop star kirghize, alors qu’elle dénonce les injustices auxquelles sont confrontées les femmes kirghizes. Malgré les menaces de mort et l’étiquette « d’agent de l’Occident », ce portrait de Zere et de sa famille explore le pouvoir des réseaux sociaux, de la musique populaire et des manifestations de rue comme outil permettant de faire évoluer les mentalités.

Impact Statement
#Enough Kyrgyzstan seeks to amplify the existing #Enough movement within Kyrgyzstan and across the greater Central Asia region. By building on Zere’s existing social media presence and similar platforms in Kyrgyzstan, we wish to draw awareness to existing forums and safe spaces in the country where women can express themselves openly and find ways to support one another.

We want people around the world to witness life in Kyrgyzstan, through the eyes of a young woman activist and pop star singer, and what it means to have no freedom of speech.
Impact Goals
  1. To encourage women to support one another and to reduce the stigma of speaking out about abuse or injustice.
  2. To raise funds for women's crisis centres in Kyrgyzstan.
  3. To develop a plan to ensure protection for Zere and her family in Kyrgyzstan.
  4. To reach audiences outside of Central Asia to create awareness about the struggles of women in Kyrgyzstan.
Impact Strategy
  • Hire a Kyrgyz Impact Producer to develop an in-country campaign aligned with existing initiatives addressing gender-based violence ( e.g. “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence” campaign).
  • Develop community screenings for women’s groups in partnership with existing Kyrgyz NGOs, where women can have a safe space for discussion afterwards and receive information about available resources.
  • Make additional subtitled versions for audiences in neighbouring Central Asian countries.
  • Create a website in English, Kyrgyz and Russian, reachable by a QR code at the end of the film, to share resources available in Kyrgyzstan and offer foreigners a way to donate to existing programs.
