Beneath the veil of society are the tears of India’s most oppressed members of society–women. The movie, The Veil of Tears tells the untold story of millions of women who are victims of abuse, abandonment, adversity and gender segregation. This movie dares us to go beyond awareness and to take action. I encourage you to watch the trailer.
India has the reputation of being one of the worst places in the world to be a woman. They are married early, having no say in the matter. Arranged marriages are still the norm. They need to get permission to visit the doctor. According to a survey, 54 per cent said they expected to be beaten by their husbands if they left the house without his permission. Women are also beaten if they cook a dish badly or if their dowry is inadequate or if they neglect their household duties.
Life in India is a constant struggle for women. Veil of Tears draws us into their dark reality but also allows us to share in their triumphs. And in spite of all the suffering, there is hope. Through the work and ministry of Gospel for Asia, these women can be rescued from persecution and rejection and given the hope that is found only in Jesus Christ.
