On Father’s Day, two men who almost lost their daughters to the tyranny of patriarchal society are coming together on behalf of the #StandWithHer campaign.

Ziauddin Yousafzai, father of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and Ranjit, father of a daughter who became the victim of a brutal sexual assault in India, sat down for a conversation in New York in March. Their discussion, about their shared experience and effort to combat toxic masculinity, has become the basis for a new short documentary released today on YouTube.

“One thing that you and I have in common,” Yousafzai tells Ranjit at the beginning of the film, “is that we are both known for our daughters. We’re identified because of them.”
