On the World Stage: Cannes Film Festival
In May, Roads of Success proudly co-sponsored the World Woman Cannes Agenda at the Cannes Film Festival, in partnership with Countess Chiara Modica Donà dalle Rose, the Donà dalle Rose Foundation, and the World Woman Fund Foundation. This global platform brought together leaders committed to advancing gender equality and defending the rights of women in conflict zones.
ROS Vice President Jacqueline Isaac delivered a keynote address alongside Brazil’s Minister of Culture, the Honorable Margaret Menezes, titled:
“Voices That Lead: A Celebration of Resilience Through Media Storytelling.”
Together, they urged the global community to move beyond symbolic gestures and commit to real, lasting change, harnessing media to dismantle stereotypes and uplift survivor narratives.
Jacqueline also spoke on the panel “Stories That Shift Worlds and Equality,” highlighting ROS’s advocacy initiatives, from the Maraa Fadela television series to campaigns that supported genocide resolutions and cultural transformation. She emphasized the role of inclusive storytelling and the importance of male allies in advancing gender equity.
ROS’s message reached broader audiences through media coverage including Top Italia Radio, Radio du Cinéma, and the Cannes Market Daily Newspaper. Additionally, our documentary Iraq: A Forgotten Hope, produced by Nations Media and featuring ROS, was showcased to raise awareness and rally global support for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.
