GHOOR

May 16, 2025

film about the situation of that Girls who face evil eyes daily on way. “Not every battle is fought with weapons; some are fought with eyes… and silence.” This film is a raw, unflinching portrayal of the everyday battles women face in a society where their existence is constantly scanned, judged, and violated by predatory stares. From streets to buses, offices to parks — no place feels truly safe. It’s a story of unseen wounds, silent fears, and a world where public spaces still belong to the audacity of shameless eyes. But in the darkness of this cruelty… rise a few hands. Hands that shield, voices that speak, and gazes that stand as a wall of dignity. This isn’t just a film — it’s a voice for those countless unspoken stories buried in the hearts of women. A message that must be seen, heard, and felt.
