Hulhevi Media, in collaboration with UNFPA and NGOs and individuals working against domestic violence, are pleased to announce our latest addition to the public service music videos that represent our work so well.
Geveshi Hiyaa (now on Youtube), shot on Bilehdhoo, is a short music video that looks at domestic violence and follows in the tradition of our earlier works Heyva Heyva, Vehey Iru, and Thedhekey Thedhekey.
The music video was screened to launch the Thinakun Ekeh (One in Three) anti-domestic violence campaign on 25 November, the international day for the elimination of violence against women. The campaign takes its name from the groundbreaking 2007 study which revealed that 1 in 3 Maldivian women aged 15-49 experience physical or sexual abuse at least once in their lifetime. Police and IGMH records confirm that violence against women is highly prevalent in the Maldives, ranging from the sexual abuse of underaged girls to severe beating and violent gang rape.
Hulhevi Media is working with the Thinakun Ekeh campaign to draw attention to the issue and to lobby policy makers to come up with good legislation to combat violence against women.
