In this episode, Hannah is joined by Catherine Harry, who is a feminist vlogger and sex educator. Cath talks about growing up in Cambodia’s conservative purity culture, being made to memorise the women’s code of conduct at school, and when she started questioning what she’d been taught. She gets into why she makes videos in Khmer, her most requested video topics, and how the people that take the biggest issue with her work are actually western white men. Cath discusses what intersectional feminism means to her, her work with abortion organisations, and what it’s like navigating access to sexual health services and contraception in Cambodia. Finally, Cath and Hannah talk about how LGBTQ+ rights have been improving in Cambodia, how race impacts how accepting Cambodian society can be towards queer tourists, and the importance of having a support system who care about you when you’re working as an online sex educator.

CW: discussion of abortions, mention of sexual assault
