Equal But Not Equal: France's Inhumane Hijab Ban
In this solo episode, Andrea provides a bit of gossip and fun facts around the 2024 Paris Olympics including:
- The Canadian women's soccer team's drone scandal,
- The debut of the IOC Refugee Olympic Team emblem, and
- The first equal female to male gender participation Olympic event.
Andrea also discusses the inhumane decision by France to ban hijabs for their athletes in the Olympics, exploring its broader implications and urging privileged listeners to speak up, both in Canada and abroad.
Silence only lets the narratives have power. The power of these harmful narratives from politicians and Western culture will remain powerful if they are not challenged. Speaking up is a way to create new narratives - narratives of collective liberation.
Liberation for one group of people is liberation for all people. Collective action can move us forward in creating equitable and beautiful spaces, where no one has to fear being themselves.
