Gavron is also both a wife and a mother, and "got into filmmaking to make a difference."[1][3] She has dedicated her career to accurately telling the stories of women.[1][3] In addition, the scarcity of women filmmakers in the UK is what inspires Gavron with her own filmmaking, and her responsibility as a female director.[1][3]
