Women's Day Documentary: Good Girls

Title: Good Girls

Journalist: Vuyo Mlauzi
Producer: Khulekani

Why is it that no matter what path a woman chooses, she is never considered enough? This documentary explores the societal expectations placed on women through the stories of three groups: young, sexually liberated women labelled as promiscuous, ambitious career women criticised for putting success first, and housewives whose choice to prioritise family is often undervalued. By sharing their lived experiences, the documentary exposes the double standards women face and asks whether society will ever allow women to define womanhood and success on their own terms.
