Rosa's Story
The time has come and the time is now.
Violence against women and girls has a long history.
All forms of violence against women and girls have permeated the fabric of society throughout the world.
Generally, the perpetrators are male and the victims are women and girls.
Given this reality, women and girls are calling on MEN to help with the laborious task of eliminating violence against women and girls. Sistas Calling is a movement reaching out to men, men with willingness and readiness to join the movement. Violence against women and girls is a Social and Human Rights issue.
Sistas Calling shares the true story of Rosa, an immigrant mother fleeing violence with her young son. After finally escaping more than a decade of abuse, Rosa learns to believe in herself again and with the support of The Warrior (her therapist and advocate) she begins her journey of healing and justice. Despite facing racism and sexism, Rosa overcomes these obstacles and goes on to become an empowered woman. Rosa's transformation is an inspiration all audiences.
Through music, dance, and theatre, we journey with Rosa as she escapes a dangerous relationship, accesses the tools and support to begin healing, and navigates discrimination as an immigrant mother. Sistas Calling captivates audiences and sparks the conversation to generate ideas towards an end to violence and racism globally.
