No status puts a woman at greater vulnerability than that of being a migrant or refugee.

Anna Zobnina is a Strategy and Executive Director at European Network of Migrant Women, and she knows first-hand the realities and complex challenges that migrant and refugee women face in Europe.  With over 15 years of experience in feminist analysis of male violence & discrimination against women and girls, sexual and reproductive exploitation, and international human rights policy work, Anna and her organization are at the forefront of the women’s rights policy-battles currently raging in Europe. 

Fundamental issues of equality between men and women are on the table, being hotly debated between EU governmental bodies, big international NGOs, the UN, and all the moneyed interests trying to influence them - and no one stands to lose more than migrant and refugee women, most of whom have fled men’s wars, violence and poverty and are trying to survive in a new land.   

In this super-sized episode we talk about every variety of men’s violence, sexual exploitation, surrogacy, forced marriage - and the literal gauntlet of violations, both personal and institutional, women endure to survive - in their country of origin, on their journey to Europe, and as migrant women living in Europe.
