"This is a Cypriot issue" - S3E9 with Tugba Mimi

Update: 2023-06-18

Description

TW: this episode contains language around sexual assault that some listeners may find triggering. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, I am joined by Tugba Mimi. One year ago, Tugba was a victim of r*pe in Cyprus. She is now using her platform to raise awareness about violence against women on the island. Tugba tells me why what she experienced is a Cypriot issue, how the partition of Cyprus is preventing people from getting the justice they deserve, and how she is now using her voice to help others and reclaim her own power.
