Zonta clubs in Area 1, District 20, Finland, jointly organized a film screening and panel discussion on the themes of the film on the opening day of the Zonta Says NO campaign.

The clubs screened Niina Vuorisara’s documentary film, Only One of Us, followed by a discussion led by highly knowledgeable panelists. They explored the film’s focus on sibling violence and the broader theme of violence against women. The panelists were professionals experienced in crisis situations involving youth, women and families.

The film had a profound impact on the audience, poignantly showcasing a little girl’s experience of loneliness and insecurity. It illustrated how the violence directed at her went unnoticed for several years. Despite the heavy themes, the film carried a hopeful message: recovery from such harsh experiences is possible. While the topics were indeed tragic, there was also a sense of fulfillment, emphasizing the importance of not ignoring these issues. One panelist’s words were particularly memorable: “It is our duty to intervene in injustices when we see them, whether we are an aunt in the supermarket lobby, a neighbor, or a friend.”
