In today’s episode of MECCA Talks, Kate is joined by fearless feminist writer, broadcaster and speaker (and skincare enthusiast!) Clementine Ford.

A social justice champion and challenger of cultural norms and ideas around gender equality, marriage, female happiness and public health, Clementine is a true thought leader, and, as per her first book, the ultimate example of ‘Fight(ing) Like A Girl’.

In the week of the International Day of the Girl's 10th anniversary, Clementine talks about the inequalities women and girls face from childhood through to adulthood, her ‘coloured history’ as a social commentator, reframing her perspective on beauty and challenging the concept of marriage, as she plans to explore in her upcoming book, ‘I Don’t’.

Listen, take note, and speak up!

CONTENT WARNING: this episode touches on themes of rape, assault and violence.
