NO! The Rape Documentary screening at Central European University this Tuesday

This Tuesday, as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, the Human Rights Initiative at Central European University will be screening the award-winning documentary, NO! The Rape Documentary by Michael's daughter, Aishah Shahidah Simmons.

Eleven years in the making, NO! explores the international reality of rape and other forms of sexual assault through the first person testimonies, scholarship, spirituality, activism and cultural work of African Americans. Since its official release in 2006, NO! has been screened and distributed to racially and ethnically diverse audiences at film festivals, community centers, colleges/universities, high schools, correctional facilities, rape crisis centers, battered women shelters and conferences throughout the United States, France, Spain, Rwanda, Kenya, Nepal, South Africa, Jordan, Burkina Faso, Peru and Mexico.

The screening will be followed by a discussion/question-and-answer period hosted by our own Michael Simmons, who served as Creative Adviser on the film.

**Please remember, the location for this event is NOT our Salon, but rather Central European University.**
