The Scottish premiere of Devi, a multi-award winning documentary about the life of Devi Khadka

MacLaren Stuart Room, Edinburgh Law School

<h3>Join PeaceRep, GENDER.ED, and the Global Justice Academy for the Scottish premiere of Devi, a multi-award winning documentary about the life of Devi Khadka.</h3> Nepal’s Civil War ended in 2006, but not for Devi; rebel warrior, mother and sexual violence survivor. As those in power try to erase rape from the history of war, Devi has to battle her own demons before she can begin to build a movement to fight for justice. In August 2024 Devi Khadka finally saw Nepal’s government pass a key law on conflict related sexual violence – which Devi puts down in part to the process of making the film and the support of director Subina Shrestha.The film screening will be followed by a Q&A with Devi director Subina Shrestha and Global Justice Academy Director Kasey McCall-Smith at Edinburgh Law School.Refreshments will be provided upon arrival.<a href="https://www.devidocumentary.com/" title="https://www.devidocumentary.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.devidocumentary.com/</a> <blockquote>A deeply moving and inspiring film about the long and often complicated road to justice. Devi shows us what it takes to be a human rights defender, standing up for women’s rights whatever the cost. Sherine Tadros – Deputy Director of Advocacy for Amnesty International</blockquote>
