The film brings viewers into the reality of a woman who\u2019s stuck in an oppressive marriage blurring her fantasy with what is real.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moderator:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Randi W. Stebbins<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Randi is the director of the University of Iceland Center for Writing. As a foreign woman who has spoken out for women&#8217;s rights, Randi brings a great depth to this panel. Before moving to Iceland, she worked as an attorney in the Bay Area assisting immigrant victims of violent crime. She uses that experience in her research on violence against immigrant women in Iceland and as a peer counsellor for W.O.M.E.N. Randi is also a founding member of the writing collective and small publishing nonprofit, \u00d3s Pressan, which focusses on bringing marginalized authors into the Icelandic literary landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Sigr\u00fan Ingibj\u00f6rg G\u00edslad\u00f3ttir<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sigrun is an impressive attorney who graduated from Harvard Law School, LL.M, in 2016. She is one of the partners at the internationally recognized human rights law firm R\u00e9ttur &#8211; A\u00f0alsteinsson &amp; Partners. In recent times she has headed a number of cases which have been filed against Iceland to the ECtHR on the grounds of Discrimination and Violence against women.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Gu\u00f0r\u00fan J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gu\u00f0r\u00fan recently retired as the spokeswoman for St\u00edgam\u00f3t. As a known advocate for women&#8217;s rights, before retiring, she with St\u00edgam\u00f3t and the team at R\u00e9ttur &#8211; A\u00f0alsteinsson &amp; Partners (headed by the keynote speaker Sigr\u00fan Ingibj\u00f6rg G\u00edslad\u00f3ttir)took a series of cases to the ECtHR. This action was bold and showed how the system has been failing survivors of abuse and violence in ways which goes beyond the infraction of abuse from the perpetrator themselves, instead, unveiling the injustice within the Icelandic system.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Nichole Leigh Mosty<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nichole has been a prominent figure in addressing women&#8217;s rights issues related especially to women of foreign origin, having lead the MeToo movement for women of foreign origin living in Iceland. Nichole was the first women of foreign origin to be elected to hold a seat in parliament here in Iceland. She is currently employed as a Project Manager at the City of Reykjavik, working with community development and sits as a Chairwoman of the non-profit organization W.O.M.E.N Iceland and will be published in the upcoming MeToo book.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Grant Wyeth<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grant is an academic at the Asia Institute, University of Melbourne, and a columnist for the Asia-Pacific affairs publication The Diplomat. His background is in political science and international relations, so is not from fields that engage directly with domestic violence. However, he has come to understand domestic violence as the world&#8217;s primary security concern, and therefore an issue that these fields need to start taking seriously. He has a forthcoming journal article on the ideological conversion of family courts throughout the West, to be published in Family &amp; Intimate Partner Violence Quarterly. Grant will be discussing why the state tolerates male violence.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dr\u00edfa J\u00f3nasd\u00f3ttir<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; speaking on behalf of the Women&#8217;s shelter<\/p>\n<p>Drifa has worked extensively on researching subjects that concern intimate partner violence. Addressing language used in IPV and the types of injuries which women who visit ER experience. Her work has given a voice to the many women who have experienced abuse and or frequented the Women&#8217;s Shelter. Drifa&#8217;s insight has enabled a deeper understanding of the experiences which often happen behind closed doors.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Katr\u00edn \u00d3lafsd\u00f3ttir<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Katr\u00edn is in her 3rd-year as a PhD student. Her focus is on violence<br \/>\nwith emphasis on gender-based violence, specifically IPV and sexual<br \/>\nviolence. She will be addressing this from a critical feminist point of view with special focus on the myth of \u201ethe monster&#8221; \u2013 harmful for both survivors (not recognising their experiences as violence) and men who are violent (not recognising their own acts as violence).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RVK Feminist Film Festival presents \u2018No Woman Alone\u2019 FREE event &#8211; Held in ENGLISH 16th of January 2021 13:00 &#8211; 14:30 Hosted at the Nordic House, streaming ONLINE &#8211; available on RVK FFF Vlog following the event Hosting an online festival has enabled RVK FFF 2021 to create a space for all to partake in.
