Open Door - Shakti

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2011

Open Door is a community-based TV series where groups or individuals make a documentary about an issue that concerns them. This episode is about Shakti — a support organisation for women from ethnic communities who are in crisis because of domestic violence. Shakti offers immigrant women in violent relationships a safe haven, and a helping hand to make a fresh start. Shakti NZ founder Farida Sultana says it is so culturally difficult for some of the women to leave their marriages they can get to the point of being in fear for their lives.

Sometimes being safe is more important than being married
– Shakti New Zealand Founder Farida Sultana
