International Women’s Day; Netflix Launch ‘Because She Watched’

Happy International Women’s Day! Netflix has a lot in store for the women out there on March 8.

What even greater is that Netflix announced its partnership with UN Women for the launch of the latest collection of series, documentaries, and films – Because She Watched, celebrating the stories of women.

The collection is not only on that day but will be throughout the year and is curated by different female creators in the industry of filmmaking.

These women submitted titles that inspired them and helped them honor the official theme of 2020’s International Women’s Day: “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights.”

According to the deputy executive director of UN Women Anita Bhatia, this collaboration is about taking on the challenge of telling women’s stories and showing women in all their diversity.

It’s about making visible the invisible, and proving that only by fully representing and including women on screen, behind-the-camera, and in our narratives overall, society will truly flourish.

Founder of the US Annenberg Inclusion Initiative said in a statement “TV and film have the power to reflect and shape popular culture, which is why we believe it’s so important that more people see their lives reflected in storytelling.

Our research has shown that inclusion behind the camera leads to greater inclusion on screen.

We’re encouraged that last year, 20 percent of the directors of Netflix’s original films were women and we are excited to celebrate these female creators on International Women’s Day.

There’s still more to do to reach equality, but by recognizing female talent from around the world, we hope more women will feel encouraged to tell their stories, pushing that number even higher.”
