In a country where abortion remains entirely prohibited, Scarlet Girls brings together the voices of women and young girls confronted with forced motherhood and the risks of clandestine abortion. The documentary highlights the human cost of criminalisation and examines the condition of Dominican women. Through a carefully crafted form that blends artistic performance, fiction and documentary, it reveals the realities of unsafe abortion, stigma, and the struggle for dignity, health and autonomy.
