terre des hommes schweiz and Medicus Mundi Switzerland show the documentary #Female Pleasure and talk to the protagonist Vithika Yadav from India.
In her new documentary film, Swiss director Barbara Miller uses the personal stories of five women from five different world religions to impressively show that women's sexual lust is still a taboo in the 21st century. In the name of religion and cultural norms and values they experience injustice and are forbidden to live a self-determined female sexuality. The women break the taboo of silence and turn against archaic-patriarchal structures with all their might.
