Actress Anjali Patil won the best actress award at the prestigious 43rd Indian International Film Festival for her role in ‘Oba Nethuwa Oba Ekka’ (With You, Without You) directed by Prasanna Vithanage. The film, supported by Partners for Prevention along with IPPF, Aakar and CARE International, is the first in the Let's Talk Men (LTM) 2.0 film series, which aims to prevent gender-based violence in South Asia through raising awareness on the consequences of gender socialization and providing options for more equitable and non-violent practices. With a focus on masculinities, the project aims to engage more young men as partners with women in ending violence.
