Choke Hold

At the core of this movement, I address the all too common plight of domestic and gender-based Violence, which is further exacerbated by our current socioeconomic climate during the Covid-19 pandemic. UN Women stated, “Since the outbreak of COVID-19, emerging data and reports have shown that violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, has intensified. This is the Shadow Pandemic growing amidst the COVID-19 crisis and we need a global collective effort to stop it. More needs to be done to prioritize addressing violence against women in COVID-19 response and recovery efforts.

Chokehold is my response to this pandemic plaguing our communities. My team will utilize the powerful influence of film to spark conversations around these social injustices and support the global efforts to eliminate violence against our women and children. I hope that you join forces with us on this mission.
