S1. Ep 4: Women’s economic justice in times of crisis: reflecting forward

People vs Inequality Podcast

In this fourth and last episode of Series One we try to answer the question this all started with: Women’s economic justice - how can we make Covid-19 the game changer we so desperately need? What are some of the lessons and the opportunities or pockets of hope to build upon? We reflect back on the stories of Elizabeth, Emilia and Anuradha in the first three episodes and explore new insights and strategies to use this ‘portal’ for real change. We do this together with yet another three amazing women: Naila Kabeer, Professor of Gender and Development at the London School of Economics (LSE), Armine Ishkanian, Associate Professor Social Policy and director of the Atlantic Fellowship programme on Social and Economic Equity, and Njoki Njehu, long time organizer and Pan Africa Coordinator of the Fight Inequality Alliance.
Grab a coffee or tea and listen in on not one but three insightful conversations!
The episode starts with an excerpt from Arundhati Roy reading from her essay “The Pandemic is a Portal, read the full essay here.
