Many of the women who attended WOW Film Club events face language and economic barriers or different experiences of isolation and exclusion from mainstream cultural provision. The female-friendly spaces provided by the Film Club enable nuanced faith and cultural needs to be met and provide a welcoming environment for women who may have limited English language skills, childcare needs, health challenges, or are living in precarious circumstances (such as those escaping domestic violence, or seeking sanctuary, for whom free tickets are offered).
