Contact us here.

The Supporters

Currently Areoplan, Toronto ALPHA and Schools Without Borders have supported Golden Nugget Productions in the making of Within Every Woman. Our financial strategy moving forward will be to reach out to as many corporate, non-government and government organizations for grants and funding. We would like to market the documentary as an opportunity for corporations to become partners in the movement of female empowerment and support. This effort would be similar to the “Because I am a Girl” campaign which has been launched by Plan Canada. Or the Dove “Real Beauty” campaign which focuses on creating awareness about self-esteem and female empowerment.

The Partners

From the grassroots to the international level, we are receiving support from all over the world that want the stories of the grandmothers and their struggles to be out in the public sphere of knowledge. These organizations are international partners who are dedicated to promoting and supporting the initiatives of this project and the movement.

Toronto ALPHA

The Toronto Association for the Learning and Preserving the History of WWII in Asia (Toronto ALPHA) was established in 1997. Through the dedication of volunteers and supporters, Toronto ALPHA has come a long way in promoting the awareness of the history of WWII atrocities in Asia through various educational initiatives. In 2004, Toronto ALPHA began working closely with Ontario educators in an attempt to integrate this important, but seldom known, history and human rights lesson into the provincial secondary school curriculum. http://www.torontoalpha.org

Schools Without Borders

Schools Without Borders is a unique youth-led organization that makes education and learning more accessible for young people. SWB views this learning as a lifelong journey inspired by meaningful experiences and sustained by strong partnerships.

Taipei Women Foundation

The Taipei Women’s Rescue Foundation (TWRF) works to rescue and provide counseling to women and children victims of prostitution or domestic violence. TWRF’s anti-human trafficking mission was established in 1987 by a group of lawyers, scholars, and social workers to fight on the behalf of girls illegally forced into prostitution. This foundation will connect us to the effected grandmothers in the region of Taipei.

Nanjing Memorial Hall

The Memorial Hall for Compatriots killed in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Forces of Aggression is located in the southwestern corner of Nanjing known as Jiangdongmen, which used to be one of the execution grounds and mass burial places of the cruel holocaust.
