language
The film features implied strong language ('f**K'), and uses of 'God'.
sex
A woman recalls being accused of 'prostitution' due to her affair with a married man. References are made to contraception being banned by the church.
discrimination
References are made to discrimination against women due to societal, legal and religious oppression; however, such behaviour is contextualised as historical and is clearly challenged by individuals and the film as a whole. Historic footage shows male TV hosts patronising women and in one instance, accusing women of being the cause of discrimination against other women.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a brief reference to 'rape' on a protest sign.
