Prologue_What is rape culture?

Update: 2024-06-16

Description

The "Me Too" movement has been incredibly effective in highlighting the widespread prevalence and horrific realities of sexual violence across the globe. The WHO estimates that 1 out of 3 women has suffered from sexual violence. These numbers are way too high.

I strongly believe that in order to solve an issue, we need to understand its root causes and then take actions to solve it. I also believe that, as a society, we have both the power to fight against this problem as well as a responsibility to do it.

The aim of this podcast will thus be to look at the issue from a variety of different angles and identify opportunities for actions.

In this short intro episode, we will discuss what rape culture is and why it is important for all of us to take action to fight against it and create a safe environment for everyone.

Enjoy the episode!
