They intend to promote equality in the sector, contributing to an equitable and realistic representation of women in the participation, conception, development, creation, production, dissemination and promotion of cinematographic and audiovisual works.
They see themselves as a tool to study, debate and boost the presence of women - in an intersectional way - in the cinema and audiovisual sector in Portugal.
