TERRE DES FEMMES Film Festival 2004
„Insights into Women´s Worlds“
Between the 18th and the 24th of November the TERRE DES FEMMES
film festival will once again take place at Tübingen and Rottenburg.
We will continue to put a special emphasis on the Middle East,
as well as on the North African region and the Farere East. Many
films will be included in the series “Girl´s Worlds”,
about the perspectives of the next generation of women in a globalized
world. We will also bring into focus issues as crimes in the name
of honor – honor deaths and forced marriage - , women in post-soviet
societies, women in situations of war as well as women and globalization.

Mexican human rights activist Judith Galarza visits German and
Austrian cities with the film
More than 300 women factory workers have been murdered in Ciudad
Juárez, Mexico during the last ten years. To call attention
to this crime, for which no one could yet be prosecuted, TERRE DES
FEMMES organises a tour with the Mexican human rights activist Judith
Galarza to 11 German and Austrian cities. After the screening of
the award-winning documentary film “Señorita
Extraviada – Missing Young Woman” the audience will
have the possibility for discussion with Judith Galarza. The event’s
aim is to achieve massive public support to avert more murders.
Violations of human rights in factories of the global world market
will also be a general topic.
