Countering Backlash in association with CREA is working with the ‘Stand Up Collaborate and Listen‘ agency, and their podcast ‘Connecting Citizens to Science’, to explore the intersecting challenges of rising patriarchal backlash, silencing of marginalised voices and resistance in the Global South.
This first episode discusses how crises becomes fertile ground for anti-gender backlash. Co-host Ishrat Jahan (BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health), is joined by Nay El Rahi (Arab Institute for Women) and Alfred Makabira (ADSOCK), who share stories, reflections and analysis from their work on the Countering Backlash programme and beyond.
If crises can be imagined as spaces where traditional values are going to be anchored, I think they can also be reimagined as a space where our collective resistance can grow and where feminist responses cut across issues, address climate change, address deep economic and political crises.
