Of hopscotch and little girls [videorecording] : stolen childhood / Les Productions Virage Inc. in cooperation with The National Film Board of Canada ; written and directed by Marquise Lepage ; producer, Marcel Simard.
Documentary. Originally produced in 1999. "FFH 10982."
Summary:
Hopscotch embodies the spirit of childhood, and little girls all over the world play it. But all too often, particularly in nonindustrialized nations, girls' childhoods are stolen, their dreams for the future shattered. Often denied access to education, girls are far more likely to assume household responsibilities, be conscripted into the workforce, be pushed into early marriages, and endure sexual abuse and, in some cases, mutilation. This provocative program features girls from around the globe who share their stories of abuse and neglect, and also their hopes and dreams, in a world that too often considers them second-class citizens.
