This research explores the film "Women Talking Movie," which depicts the harrowing experiences of women in a conservative Mennonite community confronting sexual harassment. The study aims to analyse feminist themes and sexual harassment within the film, particularly how it reflects the lived experiences of women facing oppression and contributes to broader discussions on gender-based violence. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research conducts a close textual analysis of key dialogues, character development, and elements, supported by analysis and real-life narratives. The findings reveal that there are liberal feminism and social feminism, and sexual harassment shows physical harassment and date rape, verbal harassment. There are also impacts of sexual harassment such as gathering and planning their escape, offering an apology, and solving the trauma. The research not only highlights the complexities of women's struggles within patriarchal structures but also underscores the transformative power of solidarity and action in the fight against sexual violence, advocating for a critical examination of silence and its consequences in feminist discourse.
