Archival<br \/>\nmaterials concerning women\u2019s experiences during deportations have been digitized.<br \/>\nNew interviews have been conducted with victims of deportations and their<br \/>\ndescendants. A documentary film about the role of women during the deportations is<br \/>\nbeing produced. Presentation events are being organized in Latvia and EU Member<br \/>\nStates.<\/p>\n<h2>Project Partner:<\/h2>\n<p>The consortium partner of the project is the production company SIA \u201cRed Dot Media\u201d.<br \/>\nRed Dot Media is responsible for the digitization of archive materials related to the<br \/>\nproject as well as technical support in the production of audiovisual materials.<\/p>\n<h2>Project Outcomes and Results:<\/h2>\n<p>The overall ambition of this project is to significantly expand the importance of women<br \/>\nand their role in the historical depiction of the deportations of 1941 and 1949. Since this<br \/>\naspect of history has previously not been examined in the form of audio-visual materials<br \/>\naccessible to the public, the project will play a crucial role in improving the gender<br \/>\nsensitive portrayal of these atrocities. This will not only enable the deportation stories to<br \/>\nbe told from a different perspective but will also assign specific importance to women<br \/>\nwho were victims of these events.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the project will allow more women and mothers who are alive today to<br \/>\nempathize with these events, as well as contrast them with their own experiences and<br \/>\ncurrent challenges to rule of law that countries in the EU are experiencing. It will also<br \/>\nallow Latvia to foster better connections with its diaspora members in other EU<br \/>\ncountries, as well as ensure that this aspect of history is more likely to become a part of<br \/>\nhistorical research, educational curriculums, and narratives on fight for gender equality.<br \/>\nIn the long-term, the foundation hopes that the project&amp;#39;s activities will allow for better<br \/>\ncommemoration of deportation victims and their stories, as well as contribute to more<br \/>\nfrequent examination of history from the gender perspective.<\/p>\n<h2>Project Duration:<\/h2>\n<p>The project activities are being carried out across 2 years.
