I’m curious if anyone on Ovarit is a filmmaker or has the ability to produce a documentary about court systems and their failure to address DV.

I’ve told my story a bunch of times here, but I just read another post here this morning about another women murdered in a contentious divorce/custody case after she was denied protection. For my attempted murder a judge said, it “happened years ago.” Bear in mind, this was only 3 years and during a protective order case. We are ignored. Our children go back to our abusers. Our children are ignored. We are legally and geographically tied to our abusers. The legal system is another way they can abuse and control.

I’m hoping someone on this site can and will collect our stories and create a documentary. Our stories need to be told. Women and children need to be heard.

You might want to try contacting people and organizations who have made quality documentaries already. Vaishnavi Sundar is one I thought of. They might not be able to take on the project themselves, but may know who can.

o/Activism is a circle for sharing various calls to action for feminist causes, including petitions, fundraisers, letter-writing or call-in campaigns, etc.

The call to action should be clear from the post itself. Do not post links to news/articles and then write about what to do about them in the comments. Instead, make a text post with the action to take described in the post, and then include any links to news/articles in the text post. Posts that are links should only be links to pages that include calls to action in them, or are relevant, current activism resources. No one should be left wondering "but what am I to do about it?" after reading a post.

Image posts are only enabled for event fliers and advertisements of feminist groups. No other images are allowed.

Personal or action-inspiring activism reports may be appropriate here, subject to mod discretion. This is not a discussion circle but a call to action circle, so the activism report needs to contribute to calling others to action. In general, it's a better idea to use the feminist discussion circles listed below.

Activism groups that are friendly to gender critical feminists can also be advertised here. However, advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups must be pre-approved by /o/Activism moderators before you post. Please report any ads for private groups that do not have a comment from a mod confirming that it is approved. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!

This circle is about accomplishing specific feminist goals. If you want to discuss ideologies, current events, debates, articles, or news, use other circles such as /o/WomensLiberation or /o/GenderCritical. If you are posting a specific event, you probably want to post to /o/FeministEvents as well.

The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
