Seva Canada invited Canadians age 13 and up to help restore sight and prevent blindness in girls and women by creating short videos about vision and gender. Globally someone goes blind every 5 seconds and a child goes blind every minute. Approximately 314 million people worldwide live with serious vision impairment and 45 million people are blind. Two out of three blind people are women or girls, yet they receive care less that half as often as men and boys.  Seva Canada is a global leader on the issue of gender equity and blindness.
The World Community Film Festival and our travelling film festival partners are proud to present the three winning videos.The winners are:
1st PLACE: Derick Groves of Victoria, BC
2nd PLACE: Karin DuBois of Burnaby, BC
3rd PLACE: Rhonda Kara Hanah of Thunder Bay, ON

Each of the three winners win prizes and will also be honoured by having sight restored to one girl and one woman in their name.
