Thing With No Name
Sunday, February 21, 2010, 7:00 pm, $6-$10
presented by The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the US National Committee for UNIFEM
*Thing With No Name* shares the stories of two Zulu women with full-blown AIDS as they face the challenges of antiretroviral drug therapy. We watch as these women fight for survival with great humor and strength, but over time the grave impact of the disease begins to erode their drive. This film highlights how critical resources and support are to these women, and give us hope that much can still be done.
The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the US National Committee for UNIFEM (UNIFEM/USNC) was launched in June of 2009. UNIFEM is the United Nations Development Fund for Women, and it works on women’s rights and development issues across the globe. We are committed to expanding support and raising funds within the United States for UNIFEM. Through our efforts we hope to encourage ourselves and others to become involved in advancing women’s rights around the world.

*About the Film Series:*
This monthly film series will look at women’s rights and development issues. Each month, a film that touches on one of the four themes of UNIFEM (The United Nations Development Fund for Women) will be selected. These four themes are:
- enhancing women’s economic security and rights,
- ending violence against women,
- reducing the prevalence of HIV and AIDS among women and girls, and
- advancing gender justice in democratic governance in stable and fragile states.
After each film, a discussion will be held that focuses on the issue being highlighted and what local Bay Area organizations are doing to address that issue.
