Protesters at Suffragette Premiere

More than 100 Feminist protesters jumped the barriers and blocked the red carpet at the Suffragette Premiere in London to protest Domestic violence. Activists from the campaigning group Sisters Uncut, who campaign against Domestic violence were seen being physically carried and pushed back over the barriers. They said they wanted to bring attention to the recent governmental cuts on Domestic violence services.

Seen through the purple and green smoke bombs, protesters lay out on the red carpet and delay the premiere by 15 minutes and are even seen carrying posters with 'DEAD WOMEN CAN'T VOTE' . As a society we don't see the problems faced by women as much, we see them as 'solved', However protesters from Sisters Uncut say 'The battle isn't over'. Its great how such as film could evoke this to sort of event to happen, it gives us some hope that after all society is malleable.

I love how the cast of the film, such as Helena Bonham carter and Carey Mulligan don't see the protest as anything bad, but actually the complete opposite as Helena Bonham Carter says, 'I’m glad our film has done something. That’s exactly what it’s there for,'. And Carey Mulligan says 'Hopefully this film will inspire everyone in the way they view the world. We are an unbalanced society – women and men – and films like this inspire conversations about how we can correct that imbalance.'  The positive outlook of the cast makes the event more spectacular.

I think We, as women Owe it to ourselves and the Suffragettes to see this film. If you think about it enough, You could almost say it was ironic.
