🥈 SECOND PLACE - Minasie & Ephrem Terefe 🥈

Minasie & Ephrem's animation draws inspiration from a powerful story, shedding light on the silent struggles of many women. It brings domestic abuse out of the shadows, encouraging dialogue and empowering women to break free from its grasp. This film calls for change, speaks up against abuse, and challenges the stereotypes surrounding gender-based violence.

The core message of the film is that abuse is not something to be silent about, but rather something to be brought to light so it can be confronted and defeated.
