SUMMARY:Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion “Women of the Deep South”
DESCRIPTION:Thailand’s “Deep South” provinces of Yala\, Pattani and Narathiwat are plagued by unrest. While the conflict has its roots in the colonial history of the region\, the last fifteen years have seen an escalation of violence. Unresolved sectarian tensions among the Malay\, Muslim majority and the State in the predominantly ethnic Thai and Buddhist nation and their expression in a cycle of armed insurgency and repression have resulted in much despair. \nCivilians have been affected the most. According to Deep South Watch between 2004 and 2018 of the 6971 people who died and 13\,460 more who were injured\, about 90 percent were civilians. Women and children have not been spared\, and they account for about 16 percent of the victims. Women also bear the loss of their dear ones and are entrusted with the moral and physical support of those injured or in detention center. The conflict has made 3000 women widows and 9000 children orphans. \nThe impact of the conflict on families and especially women in Southern Thailand will be the focus of a multi-media event organized on 19 December at 5.30PM at SEA Junction by CrCF in collaboration with the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives. Two short documentaries directed by Canadian filmmaker SRG and produced by CrCF with the support of the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives will highlight the suffering brought upon women of different ethnic and religious backgrounds by the ongoing conflict. A panel will then reflect on the issues presented and a representative from the Embassy of Canada in Thailand will make brief closing remarks. More specifically the program is as follows. \nAgenda Documentary Screening & Panel Discussion\, 19 December 5.30-7.30PM \nIntroduction: Rosalia Sciortino\, Director SEA Junction \nScreening two short documentaries of the series “Women of the Deep South” \nPanel discussion \nModerator: Rosalia Sciortino\, Director SEA Junction \nFacilitator/Interpreter: Pornpen Khongkachonkiet\, Director CrCF \nPanelists: \n\nAnchana Heemmina\, human rights activist\, Duayjai group\nHaneelah  Duerama\, community activist\nNgamsuk Ruttanasatian\, Lecturer\, Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies\, Mahidol University\, Thailand\n\nQ & A \nConcluding remarks:  Ayesha Rekhi\, Counsellor (Political & Economic Affairs) at Canadian Embassy\, Thailand \n  \nPhoto by Realframe \nFor information/reservation for our events please email southeastasiajunction@gmail.com or phone/wa: +66970024140 \nNB: Events are free\, but donation most welcome! \nOrganizers \nSEA Junction\, OUR Venue on Southeast Asia \nSEA Junction aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions –from arts and lifestyles to economy and development.
