script 1: THEY SAY ''DRESS MODESTLY TO STAY SAFE. YET, I DON’T FEEL SAFE
After an evening out with her girlfriends. Nadia drives her car home. On the way back she gets pulled over by a policeman for an ID check. Everything is in order, but the policeman won't leave her alone.
script 2 “SURVIVING PATRIARCHY” To avoid daily harassment on the bus on the way to work, Nadia takes her long black cardigan from her handbag and puts it on.
script 3: ''MY BODY IS NO LONGER MY OWN''
